> The technique is limited in time, after the pandemic I'm hoping usage will drop to zero.
Do you think it's likely that, if successful, this same technique would be proposed to reduce the negative economic impact from the traditional seasonal flu in future?
I'm not a doctor but it is my understanding that the traditional flu is an impractical target for this type of contact tracing due to various reasons and would not make much sense. At any rate, this is a huge measure even if the privacy impact is limited. As a German I don't particularly like tracking of any kind and am relatively certain that extending the measure beyond the scenario of a pandemic wouldn't go over well with the population where I live.
