      I don't want to fucking hear any shit about how what we're going through in the US was inevitable and the quarantine/containment strategy was an impossible dream I have relatives in Taiwan who are going to work at the office, going out to eat, hanging out in bars

      God I’m so tired of people mentioning countries that did things like this. If the government tried forced cell phone monitoring in America there would have been civil rights lawsuits to the moon and back. The price of freedom is sometimes high.https://qz.com/1825997/taiwan-phone-tracking-system-monitors-55000-under-coronavirus-quarantine/ …

      Even if we just accept uncritically the idea that forcing people to download a tracing app at the cost of a fine (the stick) is unconstitutional, that doesn't mean you can't ask people to do it voluntarily You can even offer them money to do it (the carrot)

      Remember when we were all hoping for Google to save us, by doing exactly that An opt-in program specifically for Google's customers, on a purely volunteer basis, in hopes that people just like Google's branding enough to let Google monitor them for free

      How’d that work out? Oh and people went nuts in this country over “smart” electrical meters and biometric ID cards. Good luck getting them to install a government tracking app.

      It wouldn't have worked because Google and Apple have no power to enforce an actual quarantine, and contact tracing is only meaningful as an adjunct to quarantine (otherwise you're literally just watching the fire spread)

      The quarantine part is the important part, and it's not rocket science You just give people money If you tell people "Come get tested and if you test positive, we will pay you to stay locked up for two weeks and take care of your room and board", they have every reason to do it

          If you have testing and tracing without subsidized and enforced quarantine (no carrot and no stick) then you haven't actually done anything "Looks like you're infected but your rent is still due on the 1st, welp, good luck to you"

          What if they take the money and then delete the app? Also if you made quarantine part of testing, I seriously doubt you’d get many people showing up.
