Coronavirus conversation, Passportization, Back to the USSR?

Passportization. What could go wrong? Limiting internal travel, individual rights, access to commerce, jobs, college – based on a medical status.
The last great limitation of movement based on anything medical was likely the US' limiting travel from abroad for those with positive HIV status – but this was never done internally. Mind you HIV at the time was 90% fatal. Over time, medication to treat came into existence (although still no vaccine). There have been no restrictions from travel abroad for HIV since 2011 – and never for any traveler movement within the US. This was seen as a great victory for individual rights, human rights etc. – but we are moving in the opposite direction currently.
