If that “repurposing” isn’t already illegal, then let’s make it so and prosecute the offenders.

But let’s not handcuff the hands that really are trying to help stem a pandemic and save scores, if not more, lives. There are limits to privacy, and this seems to be a bright line. Certainly officials would have used such data in the past if it were available.

Perhaps in addition to making repurposing illegal, the first person arrested using such data should assert medical privilege. No, I didn’t hire the CDC as my doctor, but if I make statements to a random doctor who assists me at an accident scene, I expect that it would privileged. If they got my data, then they are working to help me, ergo privilege should apply.

wrt paranoia: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean everyone isn’t out to get you. And when everyone is out to get you, paranoia is just good thinking…
