Based on location data transmitted through a smart phone app, authorities believe the stranger exposed you to the coronavirus. You might be infected.<\/p><p>The alert directs you to self-quarantine for 14 days to prevent further spread of the deadly disease. In the app, a map of color-coded dots displays the population of your home town. You notice the dot associated with you, previously green, has turned to yellow \u2014 now everyone else with the app knows you could be dangerous.<\/p><p>Whether the scenario sounds Orwellian or absolutely necessary could depend on your answer to a rhetorical question Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently posed during a live Snapchat interview.<\/p><p>\u201cDo you give up a little liberty to get a little protection?\u201d he said.<\/p><p>The answer seems to be yes in at least 23 countries, where dozens of \u201cdigital contact tracing\u201d apps have already been downloaded more than 50 million times.
