> If you get a disease like this most governments have the right to ask you where you have been and who you have seen > disease is seen as to trump your privacy rights

If you are using the US as an example; can you kindly point me to any law or case precedent that is a citation?

Fundamentally I disagree the government has any “rights” at all, rather rights are for people and just restrictions placed on the gov, but that’s a small nitpick.

I’d like to see where you are liable or required in any way to break your 4th and/or 5th amendments because you picked up a disease.
