Any thoughts? I say screw privacy for this public health emergency and apply what they already know us for marketing purposes to keeping thousands alive. Then we can better regulate after the crisis when people know what this tech can track.

To: poplus <[email protected]> I've read that South Korea has used tech to track down possible contacts between those testing positive and those who may have been exposed. I haven't heard if this being used in Italy, the UK, US, etc. Is it? Is there a detailed article about this anywhere? (Any language.) Does anyone here know more about this? One article: "Thousands of miles away in South Korea, authorities have a different response to a similar-sized outbreak. They are testing hundreds of thousands of people for infections and tracking potential carriers like detectives, using cell phone and satellite technology." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-response-specialre-idUSKBN20Z27P My related post on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/opengovgroup/permalink/2615192822045631/ Thanks, Steven Clift
