Is there crypto nerdery that can make this less invasive from a privacy standpoint? Fan-fucking-tastic. Increase the nerdery! Put in dual overhead blockchains, whatever it takes. But even the most privacy-shredding version of this tracking system would be an absolute social good

Seriously, what is the point of a corporate duopoly in mobile phone operating systems, and an entirely unregulated economy built on the most invasive forms of personal surveillance, if we can't use them to save lives in a pandemic?

What we especially need is for tech people to outline to epidemiologists the full extent of the surveillance network *already deployed* commercially in the United States, and find out what parts of it will help their work. I and many other nerds are ready to help communicate that

I have absolutely no idea what surveillance measures you need in order to fight the spread of a disease like this one. But I bet most of the epidemiology community doesn't fully understand the powers of modern surveillance capitalism, since they've been busy doing epidemiology.

These mass surveillance tools aren't being created, they exist and are completely unregulated. Your concerns about misuse can be addressed by appropriately drafting the legislation, including adding regulatory provisions to it so we don't go back to the 'wild west' status quo
