The COVID-19 outbreak is proving to be the Trojan horse that justifies the ushering in of the surveillance state. We've noted how governments and corporations are quickly deploying big data and spy tools to monitor people during the pandemic.

The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, and now the war on COVID-19: all start out as legitimate responses but then are used by politicians to increase the surveillance state and erode any freedoms citizens have left.

What's coming to America in the not too distant future is a full-blown surveillance state, that could be on par with China's. In particular, we want to show ZeroHedge readers what could be coming down the pipe: That is, "pandemic drones" outfitted with specialized sensor and computer vision system that can fly around cities and detect if people have elevated body temperatures, respiratory rates, as well as to identify if people are sneezing and coughing (all signs of a COVID-19 carrier)

A US-based drone company called Dragonfly is spearheading the effort to build a drone network across public areas to detect infected people.

On Monday, former FDA chief Scott Gottlieb told CNBC that the US must build a " massive surveillance system" to detect where the virus might be spreading next – and maybe one of the best ways to monitor large swaths of the population could be through the use of pandemic drones across major US metropolitan cities.
