Good luck making it work in a hyper individualistic society. Person A who has been told they're required to do contact tracing will get annoyed that their neighbour B doesn't have to do it but is still getting money. Add to that mix the antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, people that dislike government, etc.

These people are already being paid their normal salaries by the government. If they don't want to work, they can quit. Now, if someone is in a high risk group, they probably shouldn't be out in the field, but a lot of contact tracing is done over the phone.

My response to that right now would be “Too damn bad.”
