I agree. Ironically the measures that should have increased national security are endangering social contracts established around fundamental rights in a way the opposite is achieved. But I guess you are preaching to the choir here...

But that aside, I don't think the measure would be worthwhile even now. Instead focus should be to fortify local health services and provide support where needed.

A damaged believe that fundamental rights are compromised has of course negative repercussions on the willingness to cooperate with authorities of any kind.

Trust cannot be enforced and authority is always limited. I wouldn't call it paranoia, because in that case the respective fears aren't confirmed that often by people now in solitary confinement because some hot shots thought they were in control and did was was allegedly necessary.
