Massive data sets were mobilized for covid-19, and I advise anyone politically exposed that it would be unwise to consider their health records a secure secret, and to challenge the security controls on any private electronic information.

If you really have a privacy risk, you already know how to avoid these issues, but everyone should understand and always assert their privacy rights, because there are a lot of parties interested in taking them.
