What if the Biden Administration deployed a dynamic contact tracing solution for COVID-19 nationwide?

COVID-19 from CDC

Patented technology exists to deploy a global entity analytics solution capable of continuously monitoring everyone, everywhere to contact trace COVID-19 exposures. This innovative technology gathers and conflates all types of data from any sensor type. From these insights, a global perspective can be assembled to link data associated with a specific individual and then infer where that individual is now, where there have been, and project where they are likely headed. Because the analytic workflow is autonomous, little manual intervention would be needed to constrain this solution to every US Person within the US.

How does this innovative technology work?

This technology works by discretizing every place and time with a globally unique ID or hash code that enables machines to link shared locations at any scale across disparate sources of data. For example, a picture taken by a camera represents a sensor observation. In contrast, the camera’s location along with the timestamp of the image represents the situational context or metadata associated with that observation. Once collected, all data would adhere to strict privacy laws and regulations that restrict personal data exploitation from various digital media…
