Or, it's just what it says. It's a way to implement test and trace, something that is absolutely needed to stop a pandemic like this from killing hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. Everything isn't a slippy slope. Everything isn't about your privacy. Everything isn't a grand conspiracy that only you can see and the sheeple are too dumb to understand. Sometimes, extreme measures are needed. |

Crises are often used by despots to seize power. That's not a conspiracy, that's historical fact. In the United States, we've seen it recently - 9/11 was used to degrade our rights across a large number of issues, and we've never gotten them back.
Implementing systems to track everyone people come into contact with is absolutely a huge invasion of privacy, and obviously not necessary.

Extreme times do not justify all extreme measures.
Every time you lose rights or privacy, assume it's permanent. Our government is not suited for repealing law.
