Re: Contact tracing?
"So this has never been necessary before and nobody ever saw any reason to develop anything for it? It seems that nobody ever thought that there would ever be a pandemic or epidemic that might need this happening."
It's only been the last couple of years where such an app has even been possible.
"We were caught completely unprepared because the government ignored any suggestion that there might be anything like this in the future."
You mean every government in the world. There was nobody anywhere that had a pandemic tracking app ready to roll. Some countries already had tracking apps that they repurposed, but those were for a very different use.
