    Which isn’t what the covid contract tracing apps did. They just looked for proximity. Which makes sense, because covid is primarily transmitted by breathing around people.

      If you’re only referring to contact tracing in the context of the apps that were made, sure. Then it’s about who you were in contact with.

      Contact tracing in medical contexts is entirely not that (or at least, not just that).

        And since we’re talking about covid in a mass context outside of just medical professionals, that’s entirely justified.
