> Why do we need to implement a surveillance state on top of that? Most contact tracing comes up as part re-opening businesses (and schools, though in the US that will probably be in the fall), not as much for the current complete shutdown. https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/national-corona... has a good explanation of why contact tracing is an important part of re-opening. The gist is that any amount of re-opening is likely to bring R0 much closer to 1 than it is during the current complete shutdown. The question then becomes how (well, how else) to minimize spread when new cases do occur. Think of contact tracing as one way to replace the impact that’s currently provided by shutting everything down. |
