There is part of me that really sees the potential for misuse of power. At Simtable we are working towards a spread model that involves tracking peoples locations using their phones. Which would be bootstrapped by getting location history from sources like Google, Facebook, Pokemon-go, etc... The US and Israeli governments have already verified that they gather accurate phone location histories. I would really hate for the GOP or even the DNC to get that data 'though. What I am trying to say is that we are on a slippery slope, where tracking everyones location is common. There also seems to be doubt about how well this location data will work for fighting the covid-19 virus given the number of asymptomatic carriers. So far the best solution seems to be to test everyone, and then test them again.
