this will be the greatest invasion of privacy known to mankind. These are terrible tests fraught with so many false positives that people will be afraid to move. PCRs were never made to diagnose, they were made to follow progressions of titers. This is a wrong move and the wrong reason for this motivation.

I imagine that all these anti-COVID 19 solutions reaching the market relay on the BT RSSI feature. Unfortunately, we some know how erratic this signal can be, mining that if they don’t filter this signal with another feature related to the positive detection, all this contact tracing devices are only going to become a useless massive source of false positives. The only solution I could possibly imagine –although not perfect– to solve this fiasco would be adding the time of exposition to the RSSI positive, and discard all the RSSI positives below a certain amount of time persistence.
