Germany is introducing a fine for providing incorrect contact details to restaurants. Former East Germans have living experience with "papers please".
We need all test statistics to be normalized, e.g. with transparency on PCR cycle threshold used by the test vendor and laboratory.
Given Bluetooth security weaknesses, it's only a matter of time before a legal challenge occurs against an iOS proximity assertion which has a large economic consequence, e.g. person returns to country B with PCR CT30 after being near a person in country A with PCR CT40 "positive" test result.
Should Person B be quarantined (e.g. they are expected to perform in a high-value sporting event) if they have no symptoms and there's a broad discrepancy in PCR cycle thresholds? Lawyers will sort this out after enough money is at stake to justify thorough collection of scientific evidence to challenge local policy assumptions syndicated by global iOS.

The older I get, the more true the adage "those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them" becomes to me.
Why is it that every few generations we have to repeat the mistakes of the past, in versions ever more vicious and horrific, in order to learn (for a couple of generations maybe) that it was a bad idea?
