I'm not sure about D, but it seems unlikely that there's no regulation at all. There must be some oversight, right?

I think I read that contact tracing is really a mix of different laws at both the federal and state levels, which makes C sound accurate.

I feel like the CDC has some involvement, but I can't recall if they regulate it directly. Maybe B is partially correct?

I remember discussing how contact tracing apps aren't just under HIPAA, so I think A is definitely not right.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought Huawei OceanStor 9000 supported all the standard NFS authentication methods. I'll need to double-check my notes to make sure I'm not missing something here.

I'm a bit confused by all the options. There's a lot of detail in this scenario. I think I'd need to re-read it a few times to really understand the best approach. My initial thought is that option C, focusing on the baseline technology first, could be a good starting point. But I'm not totally sure.

I'll have to go with C as well. Regulatory patchwork sounds about right for the U.S. government. Probably easier to get a Ph.D. in contact tracing law than it is to actually use the apps effectively.

I'm going with C. This is the kind of thing that's a mess of federal and state laws, all trying to catch up with the rapidly evolving technology. Bet you the lawyers are having a field day with this one!

D, definitely. Contact tracing is the Wild West in the U.S. - no rules, no oversight, just a free-for-all. Might as well use a ouija board to track COVID-19 contacts at this point.

I think B has to be the right answer. The CDC is the authority on public health measures like contact tracing, isn't it? They've got to be the ones calling the shots on this.

I'm pretty sure it's C. The U.S. has a complex web of privacy laws around contact tracing, and it varies by state. Trying to keep up with all the regulations is like herding cats!
