Yes, but I think it’s a mistake to think that this is a one time thing and that it will be done anytime soon.   We shouldn’t get in the way of what MIT/Google/Apple/etc. are doing in the short term, but I do think there is long term value developing something in the IETF that will prepare for the long term.   That has a reasonable balance between tracking for medical vs. political tracking.

Until there is a vaccine this will reoccur, and other pandemics will happen.
