I think it was Fauci who said that the most draconian of pandemic response may be looked back upon as not being enough. Well we didn't get that anywhere in the states. I really can not remember anywhere in the states that there was a lockdown, shelter in place/go ahead and get to the store a few times a week. Facemask are a good idea if you want to. Etc.

Americans seem to have a penchant for the most destructive sense of personal freedom.

California had that, especially the SF Bay Area. It was pretty hardcore for April and most of May.

Imagine thinking you have the right to leave your home or earn a living.

How dare they?

Jack Windsor is not credible at all.

His comments about hydroxychloroquine working while only using anecdotal evidence of 2 cases while clinical evidence is overwhelmingly against it is worrying as is his assertion that a symptomatic transition is just a “theory” and does not actually occur significantly. He points to a recent study but does not name it and I could not find it. The author also implies contact tracing and testing is a form of government control.

Undeniable that a government mandated tracing program with consequences is a form of government control. How could that possibly be debatable.

Reddit finds most any government control acceptable, and that’s the world they think they want, but surely they understand what it is.

Because contact tracing is normal. It’s done for almost every disease outside of the flu and the common cold. What is wrong with health officials calling you and finding out who you last had contact with?

Normal or not it’s still government.

What’s wrong with it besides basic health privacy you mean?

But that’s not what is being discussed. They are working on using the google app that Russia and China are using to determine if you are permitted to be out of your home at all, and for those who are, to log where they go and for how long, and to inform them and police.

If we aren’t in the dystopia I don’t know when we will be. And that you can’t see it and are part of the cheering crowd of useful fools depicted in Star Wars, reinforces it.

That’s not what contact tracing is. Contact tracing finding out who infected people interacted in order to stop the spread of infection. The google/Apple app is only a complement to contact tracing. They have to prioritize data privacy so it is actually not useful for many states to use anyway. Link
