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.

I hate this kind of conversation, like if I can't sit here and design a system right here and now that proves that there's nothing to do but just go buck fucking wild and let COVID-19 become endemic and have a million people die

As far as your objection here goes: offer subsidies for a quarantine and contact tracing program where you get regular payments that only come in as long as your app keeps checking in It's not fucking hard, private employers do this with intrusive apps ALL THE TIME

Why would people avoid testing in order to avoid getting quarantined? Well, possibly because in America people are dependent on their jobs, and getting a quarantine order often gives no guarantee at all that your income will be protected (especially gig work)

"Paying people not to work" goes a long way to eliminating that barrier People like getting money for nothing The Republicans are acutely aware of this, which is why they are TERRIFIED of any subsidy, they're openly screaming how if you start it up no one will ever work again

They would leave their phones at home and go out. Americans love “beating the system” and absolutely hate being told they can’t do something.

Use the phone's accelerometer for motion tracking, if the phone hasn't moved at all for 10 minutes it pops a notification, if it doesn't move in response to that it reports it's been left unattended

Shit, I hate this argument because it's not even fucking true On a global scale, Americans actually rate relatively high on the "trust" scale and the "compliance" scale

We just have our own particular (sub)cultural hangups that we then wave around as evidence of our badass red-white-and-blue pugnacity Boring suburbanites who freak out if they realize their neighbors can see they haven't mowed the lawn but who think their guns make them rebels

When you see a red light and there's no actual cars coming as cross traffic, does the driver waiting behind the light just decide to drive straight through it? Because it's just a damn light bulb and we don't take orders from machines? That's normal in other countries
