Government intervention during COVID-19

Is the government doing all it can to protect us?


Around the world countries have been monitoring cellular calls and location services to see if citizens are complying to stop the spread of the virus. In the picture above, an italian police officer is controlling a drone to be able to watch how many people are out and to fine people who are not listening to the government rules.

 In South Korea, train stations and cameras have heat technology that is able to take people's temperature from a distance, which could potentially save people in their next train ride by not coming in contact with an infected person.

Authorities in Moscow, Russia were able to find and punish a chinese woman roaming around while on lockdown with facial recognition technology. The United States has done nothing compared to others, they expect for citizens to naturally listen, but won't make an effort to at least have a limit in stores.
