100% agree here! However, we may not even need to fully furnish any central server with our location details; there are a number of apps listed at https://pinboard.in/u:jm/t:contact-tracing/ … , with Singapore's Trace Together as the most fully developed, which use anonymisation to preserve privacy

Neat! TraceTogether doesn't even *use* location data, it seems, just a set of encrypted Bluetooth proximity device pairs.

I get where you're coming from on this, but crucially, it's contingent on *ubiquitous* testing, once contained. At that point, it's possible we can do more effective contract tracing in privacy protecting ways (you have a 1-1 relationship with everyone to be traced via testing)

Way ahead of ya in Czech Republic. Banks pooled credit card data to monitor behaviour after the lockdown.
