You know what, this time I’m OK with that.
Obviously the preference would be this powers be rolled back, and realistically I say you’re overselling an otherwise valid point...
But other countries are showing it works to slow the spread in a meaningful way.
Here in NYC people are dying left and right. Hospitals are overwhelmed, people who code are being left for dead because they don’t have the resources to save them.
My mother who’s a nurse in CT had to be snuck proper PPE by a concerned coworker because their hospital is rationing it to unsafe levels, allowing healthcare workers to be exposed to confirmed COVID patients with insufficient protection.
I don’t care if they give us all ankle bracelets at this point, if we don’t act decisively now, millions will die.
This isn’t some shadow war with DOD telling us the terrorists will get us if we don’t break encryption.
The bodies are piling up in plain sight, we need to stop this by all means necessary.
