We should’be adopted the South Korean approach from the get go. Lots of testing, meticulous contact tracing, and isolation of all cases and contacts.
Seems unlikely;
"South Korea is also enforcing a law that grants the government wide authority to access data: CCTV footage, GPS tracking data from phones and cars, credit card transactions, immigration entry information, and other personal details of people confirmed to have an infectious disease."
"The authorities can then make some of this public, so anyone who may have been exposed can get themselves - or their friends and family members-tested."
"People found positive are placed in self-quarantine and monitored remotely through an app or checked regularly in telephone calls until a hospital bed becomes available.When this occurs, an ambulance picks the person up and takes them to a hospital with air-sealed isolation rooms."

"This approach comes at the cost of some privacy.South Korea's system is an intrusive mandatory measure that depends on people surrendering what, for many in Europe and the US, would be a fundamental right of privacy."
