That's the good old choice between safety and freedom.

It's more like which type of freedom do you want...right now we're anything but free. I mean you can freely move about w/ a privacy sucking app, or you can stay home in quarantine indefinitely but keep your privacy - but we know where you're at - you're at home, duh.

They need to tie these w/ an UBI at least then people are getting something for their privacy unlike FB which basically steals your data and sells it.

I'd rather let people follow the social distancing policy and stop this mental gymnastics about the necessity of tracking. P.S. I'm in the US, so I can actually freely move now.
