We've being warned but we're not seeing the truth which is NOT "test and trace".

I don't think we are there yet. But, a worry I have is in the past governments only had limited information about individuals, now the opposite is the case. There is a wealth of information and it is very easy to work with. e.g. "Find all of the people that have express X view on the internet", "find all of the people who have met with Y this year". This alone should make us pause for thought, but for some reason it does not. Despite numerous despotic regimes in history massacring people, there is a belief that "this time it will be different".
