The Aagrogya Setu app has serious issues with privacy and safety. It is unethical to add to the mix. Not to mention the peeping tom who could use it for ulterior motives. With no data protection and no privacy guarantees, this app is a recipe for disaster rather than disaster management. And it is unconstitutional too, in my opinion. Read this article by colleagues from IIT.

(Banerjee, Raman and Sharma, 2020)

"A fetish for technological fixes for everything may actually come in the way of looking for simpler solutions.

Science funding
"We must learn our lessons and commit to investing in research and development. Confronted with the pandemic, governments are turning to the scientific community. Suddenly, they’re pledging money to research teams racing to develop a vaccine. These pledges must not be forgotten once the crisis is over. Scientific communities are not born overnight; they must be developed over time, and funding must be secure."
