Seoul collects cellular and GPS location data, public transport, credit cards, immigration etc. To combat the virus, spread by Chinese neighbors, it eliminates fundamental individual freedoms. If the incubation of the infection lasts two weeks, dilating for months the identification of contacts and places frequented is arbitrary. Whoever holds this information, sooner or later, will use it criminally. Chronicles teach it.
In China, a smartphone app assigns a color (green, yellow, red) to the persons based on their health indexes, which is used to enter a shopping center, to get on a train and so on. Its people, however, accustomed to the dictatorship of the Communist Party in exchange for income, passively suffer, for now.
Western politicians have shown themselves unprepared to face, if not prevent, the pandemic, a catastrophe far from new in history. They will therefore handle these digital tools of blocking the epidemic with inexperience and the most immoral among them will try to exploit them for their own benefit.
Already now, on closer inspection, freedom of movement and assembly from "shelter-in-place" are forbidden, especially with damage to the oppositions and their protests against usurpations. The help of the tech giants could make the occupation of power permanent for its holder.
Any act or program to protect public health should take place in the light of the democratic consensus and allowed to expire once the emergency is over. Many of the restrictive provisions of the Patriot Act, following the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, have been repeatedly confirmed and authorized by Congress, just extended last month.

The balance between military power, called to impose blockades, and civil authorities will alter in fragile or immature societies.
The health systems of Italy, Spain and the USA, which have proved to be bankrupt, even fraudulent in the NHS' countries, which are compulsorily paid by citizens, will force the priorities of resources to change, causing tension and injustice. Rich-poor, urban-rural, regions against regions, residents-migrants conflicts will intensify.
Corruption will increase through the unilateral and smoky shift of public spending commitments, to the benefit of some and to the detriment of others, with significant opportunities for the underworld.
In Rio de Janeiro, drug traffickers imposed a curfew on favelas and distributed soap. (carnegieendowment.org / 2020/04/06)
In Italy, the loan of money is being extended to families and businesses, prey to the new poverty due to Whuanvirus, by organized crime: camorra, 'ndrangheta, mafia etc.
However, the yearning for freedom is invincible.
In Georgia, U.S., today they are restarting gyms, bowling alleys, beauty salons. On Monday it will be up to theaters, restaurants and various companies to reopen by checking employee fever and any respiratory discomforts, spreading shifts to reduce crowding and widening remote working. Others will wait 1-2 weeks.
Many Americans and Europeans don't know how they will pay their bills and how they will manage to eat. (thedispatch.com / 2020/04/23)

Not the politicians who took away their money to the last by taxes.

Ladri di libertà
Seoul raccoglie i dati di localizzazione cellulari e GPS, dei trasporti pubblici, delle carte di credito, delle immigrazioni etc. Per combattere il virus, diffuso dai vicini cinesi, elimina fondamentali libertà individuali. Se l'incubazione dell'infezione dura due settimane, dilatare per mesi l'individuazione dei contatti e dei luoghi frequentati è arbitrario. Chi detiene tali informazioni, prima o poi, ne farà uso delinquenziale. Lo insegnano le cronache.
In Cina una app smartphone assegna un colore ( verde, giallo, rosso) alla persona sulla base dei suoi indici sanitari, che serve per entrare in un centro commerciale, per salire su un treno e via dicendo. Il suo popolo però, abituato alla dittatura del Partito Comunista in cambio di reddito, subisce passivamente, per adesso.
I politici occidentali si sono mostrati impreparati ad affrontare, se non prevenire, la pandemia, catastrofe tutt'altro che nuova nella storia. Maneggeranno pertanto con imperizia questi strumenti digitali di blocco dell'epidemia e i più immorali tra loro cercheranno di strumentalizzarli a vantaggio proprio.
Già ora, a ben guardare, libertà di movimento e di riunione da "shelter-in-place" sono interdette, soprattutto con danno delle opposizioni e delle loro proteste contro le usurpazioni; ma l'aiuto dei giganti tecnologici potrebbe rendere permanente l'occupazione del potere per chi lo detiene.
Ogni atto o programma per tutelare la salute pubblica dovrebbe avvenire alla luce del sole nel consenso democratico e lasciato scadere una volta finita l'emergenza. Molte delle disposizioni restrittive del Patriot Act, seguito agli attacchi terroristici 11 settembre 2001 alle Torri Gemelle e al Pentagono, sono state ripetutamente confermate e autorizzate dal Congresso, appena prorogate il mese scorso.

L'equilibrio fra potere militare, chiamato ad imporre i blocchi, e autorità civili si altererà nelle società fragili o immature.
I sistemi sanitari di Italia, Spagna, USA, rivelatisi fallimentari, persino fraudolenti nei Paesi del NHS spesato obbligatoriamente dai cittadini, costringeranno a cambiare le priorità delle risorse, provocando tensioni e ingiustizie. Si acuiranno i conflitti ricchi-poveri, urbani-rurali, regioni contro regioni, residenti- migranti.
La corruzione aumenterà per il tramite dello spostamento unilaterale e fumoso degli impegni di spesa pubblica, a beneficio di alcuni e danno di altri, con notevoli opportunità per la malavita.
A Rio de Janeiro i trafficanti di droga hanno imposto il coprifuoco nelle favelas e distribuito sapone. (carnegieendowment.org /2020/ 04/ 06)
In Italia si sta estendendo il prestito di danaro a famiglie e imprese, preda della nuova povertà per effetto di Whuanvirus, da parte del crimine organizzato: camorra, 'ndrangheta, mafia etc.
L'anelito di libertà è tuttavia invincibile.
In Georgia, U.S., oggi riavviano palestre, bowling, saloni di bellezza. Lunedì toccherà a teatri, ristoranti, varie aziende riapriranno controllando la febbre dei dipendenti e gli eventuali disagi respiratori, scaglionandone i turni per ridurre l'affollamento ed ampliando il telelavoro. Altre aspetteranno 1-2 settimane.
Molti americani ed europei non sanno come pagheranno le bollette e come riusciranno a mangiare.

Non i politici, che fino all'ultimo gli hanno sottratto soldi con le tasse.
