Arguably this shows that the failure of the Western public health community is institutional, regardless of the attempts to blame demagogues like Trump.
Futile and failed attempts at #COVID19 contact tracing has reduced trust in public health. When needed and feasible for a different epidemic, people will be less likely to cooperate. Public health is shooting itself in the foot.https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1340352578341789699 …

covid19 is for the public health industry what the banking crisis was for the financial industry.

The pb is that countries used it to harvest data and give it to the police. Singapore and Vietnam which have been praised for their strategies have faced this pb. Health is tightly connected to ethics.

I suppose in Vietnam it's less of an issue because it is a communist police state anyway.

People quickly sussed that the system was fatally flawed. Bluetooth range iPhones c 20 metres so nowhere near person but you are traced. Go to a bar at 6.00 pm, leave 6.30 pm. A "covid" person arrives 7.00 pm and you are still traced as no timing limitation built in. Farcical.

Except in the countries where it has worked? Vietnam, China, South Korea...

All three of those countries reacted really early: China because it was where the pandemic started and Vietnam and South Korea because they were in the same geographic neighbourhood.
