New York's contact tracers curiously incurious about whether COVID-19 patients attended protests and lootings

Contact tracing by public health officials is done on newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients to track the spread of the disease. How did they get it, and who did they give it to? It's a stopgap measure because there isn't much of a cure for the pandemic.

Now we have this:

Democratic New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio’s “contact tracing team” won’t be allowed to ask COVID-19 patients if they attended a George Floyd protest recently, The City reported.

The “contact tracing team” is tasked with finding an infected patient’s recent contacts and informing them about their exposure to the virus so they can self-isolate. However, the team is not allowed to ask people if they attended one of the many recent demonstrations where thousands of people gathered closely together to protest the death of George Floyd, The City reported.

So much for science and public safety. Of what use is this information gathered if they can't pin it on an illegal protest gathering or lootfest, with zero social distancing? New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and all his leftist allies in public health have been eager to pin church meetings, barbershop chairs, nursing homes, cruise ships, beauty parlors, spas, bars, and restaurants as key spreading points of contact, and some of these places really have been critical nodes in the spread of the disease. And the pieties flow:

According to WebMD:

"One of the most important steps to take to reopen the economy as safely as possible is to create a system of contact tracing

Yes it is.

We can't get a list of those people for sure but I bet they can ask what church they were/are attending.

Yes it is, but it provides for a lot of SJWiors to get more government money while only looking for what the Left wants.

De Blasio’s action not only defeats the purpose of contact tracers imo, but violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protections Clause imo.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws [emphasis added].”

Insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Oregon ruler Kate Brown stopped opening economy of Portland because an increase of Wuhan bio-weapon cases after all the rioting. They need time to figure out why the increase of cases after the rioting.

Kate Brown was aggressively trying to shut down the Oregon economy prior to the release of the Wuhan.

Then I expect them to not ask specifically if they have attended Trump rallies, shutdown protests, vaccine protests or anything other kind of mass political rally, right?
