There might not be any foreigners let in at all for a while. I was talking about citizens. Prepare for fundamental erosion of our rights - that one is almost guaranteed now. I won’t be surprised if they go to apple/google and telcos for location data to aggressively backtrack infected. It’s either that or millions of deaths. A perfect zugzwang

The Tweet is now deleted, so probably just a rumour, but Sky News tweeted earlier:
> Sky News understands the [UK] Government has asked mobile network O2 to hand over anonymous mobile phone location data in order to ensure people are following social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 outbreak
I suspect it's at least being discussed.

My impression is that without (currently illegal) immigrants you won't have enough farm workers. How do you avoid a famine?
(I'm also skeptical that stopping illegal immigrants will be as simple as tracking phones, but whatever)
