It will be interesting to see how Clare Connors decides the constitutionality of a contact tracing app that is used on people who are not sick, forced mandatory quarantine facility (i.e., fancy jail), or ankle monitoring. I doubt any of these measures are going to fly legally, but many in the community are probably at the point of, screw it, just do it and face the repercussions later.
