Right now, the many companies who track the location of every American who carries an electronic device in real time can share that data with anyone they want to except the only people who need it—epidemiologists. That is absolutely bonkers. Fix it! And then regulate it better!

The only way to get people back to work after this initial outbreak is contained will be an elaborate surveillance system so public health workers can get on top of outbreaks. Let's use the one we have in place right now. Happy to be called a fascist by very online for saying it.
