The interest in "privacy" around contact tracing seems like a ship that sailed a long time ago to me. Verizon etc all already have this data, and it isn't "private", and so does uber, lyft, and every other overly-aggressive-permission-askning-app that anybody has ever installed.
Privacy is really important: but we lost it all a long long time ago. Maybe saying "well now we can do a good job of contact tracing" is at least some good coming out of that loss of privacy. I just hope we don't end up wasting time trying to make the contact tracing "private" as if by doing otherwise we'd be giving something up that we didn't already give up long ago.
