Trust Us: It's For The General Welfare. Really?

Is this the sleeper? Smart-phone-based digital contact tracing by a central authority? Theoretically, what happens in countries if legislation was (is) changed to make it mandatory?  GPS vs. Bluetooth health surveillance...

Symptoms, then testing, and if positive, a possible rigorous and mandatory health examination of your network: your private circle of family, friends, acquaintances and work colleagues.  Then what if in-country legislation modifications call for mandatory and involuntary removal and isolation (to where exactly?)...?

Something to think about in 2020, the debut year of widespread adoption of such apps.
Interesting, and somewhat disturbing regarding privacy issues and potential surveillance limits. A Health-Care Big Brother, oddly "comforting"?
