There has been a lot of talk about the disbandment of civil liberties and possibly the imposition of martial law in this pandemic. The USA has been slow to learn from what China, Hong Kong, and Israeli are presently doing in terms of applying technical state surveillance, but that is all about to change.
In the USA, as everything grinds to a halt, we are starting to see the emergence of uniformed police taking people's temperature as they enter work and shopping facilities. Expect to be stopped at a checkpoint on the street. If you have a fever then you will be taken away and put in confinement. You will not be able to escape NY because there will be checkpoints at the Lincoln/Holland tunnels and the Brooklyn bridge. Apps, and more Apps and more Wristbands are going to become mandatory. We are already confined. Next comes electronic monitoring. Don't tell Alexa or Google Home that you are sick. You could get reported. Your home sensors will track and report your movements, but will that be effective at saving humanity?
