To be fair, the national eviction moratorium was ruled illegal/not a power that the CDC has.

Precisely. The group that is willing to illegally order you to do things they have no right to order is also tracking you. But no biggie.

Say the thing they ordered. They didn't allow evicting millions of Americans during winter in a global pandemic. They're also tracking people to make sure lockdown guidelines were followed. Of course Americans could not follow a guideline to save their lives, and now over a million preventably dead Americans get to be summarily forgotten because the real victim was your ability to go to a bar or concert when hospitals were renting refrigerated trucks to hold bodies.

But no biggie.
