Seriously, are you going to allow in your home someone hired by government to find out who you spoke with, who you met, where you went and who was there? Think folks will open the door or slam it? Then if these government employees do their job, everyone in America will be quarantined for two weeks. Why? If you go to Wal mart, all those in Wal Mart at the same time as you—if you are found to have the virus—must be interviewed and quarantined. Then you go to a restaurant, a barber shop and gas station. In a single day you could cause 1,000 people to lose their freedom. Remember, the Health Director of Ventura County said eh could force people to be quarantined.
“Supposedly serious people with TV shows and everything said with straight faces that we might need 100,000 contact tracers, maybe more, maybe everyone needs to be a contact tracer. In New York, Michael Bloomberg stepped out of ubiquitous presidential ads (remember that?) right into being charged with leading the new public health Manhattan Project. The result looks more like a middling 4th grade science fair entry.
Oregon reported last week that that the state has no idea how many contact tracers it has in the field. In New York, several upstate counties are opting out of the program because their own local policies work better for them. Meanwhile in Gotham, Mayor Bill de Blasio betrayed the deeply unserious nature of his tracing efforts by telling his tracers not to ask if people who test positive had been at a political protest.
Note you are exempted if you attended a protest/riot. This is not about health, but destruction of productive people. There used to be a TV talk show host in Los Angeles in the ’60;s and early 7-‘s, Joe Pyne. When someone came up with a silly idea like tracers and trackers, he would yell at them, “TAKE A HIKE”. Someone approaches me, I will tell them to take a hike. Will you join me?
