It was actually nice to get notified that I had been exposed to COVID 2 days before I came down with symptoms. I was able to avoid my coworkers and prevent me from spreading it to them and their families.
In most things I would agree to the adage about those who would give up their freedom for safety deserve neither freedom nor safety, but the right to not share my location data to help people be aware of a deadly pandemic and protect themselves is not something I would consider a freedom, and it was given up to protect other people's safety which is a noble cause.
- mirkules 4y agoWe always sacrifice liberty for these "noble" goals, don't we? But once you do, there is never getting them back. See: PATRIOT Act. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
- BizarroLand 4y agoIf there is a liberty to expose innocent people to potentially deadly diseases I don't want it for myself or others. If that's a step towards hell then God is not good.

If you are worried about COVID, stay home and wrap yourself in a bubble. There's a certain amount of risk that comes with living with people.
