Because this is a pretext to create infrastructure to go after you and your family.

Good thing everyone was pushing those contact tracing apps a few weeks ago.

I think you'll find that a substantial portion of those of us who are opposed to police surveillance are also opposed to the mandatory use of contact tracing apps, especially ones designed by some of the least trustworthy surveillance companies in existence (Google, palantir, etc).

Example is a representative in the sate of WA, Matt Shea; He'd like to know who doesn't pass his fealty tests:

"The document, consisting of 14 sections divided into bullet points, had a section on "rules of war" that stated "make an offer of peace before declaring war", which within stated that the enemy must "surrender on terms" of no abortions, no same-sex marriage, no communism and "must obey Biblical law", then continued: "If they do not yield — kill all males"."
