“So if it was a paid employee doing the exact same job, would you object?”

Yes.

So why do these news imbeciles never indicate where I can sign up? UMD is just down the road from me.

Found a link where I could actually get exposed to this Panda Turd in a controlled manner for research purposes, so I went ahead and filled out the expression of interest.

My Food Lion and Wal-Mart are all masked up. My town is relatively sane when it comes to dealing with the Panda Turd virus.

If I understood correctly, they’ll find out who has it, and then will “hire PRIVATE DETECTIVES” to track down and inform people they’ve crossed paths with.

If someone tells me that info, I would be appreciative.

Guess it depends on how they come across. If they're professional and polite, that's a plus. If they're unprofessional and rude/condescending that's going to cause problems in trying to do their job.

My town had a big nursing home incident a few weeks ago (66 residents and 10 staff positive). For all I know, I’m geographically within a spike. My own county (Frederick Cty, MD) is going hot as well — over 1000 cases counted so far.

The timing is interesting too. All along, when there is a certain narrative being pushed on social media, it gets pushed here at the same time.

I dunno ... private detectives tracking me down? To quote Kramer, “I don’t like the sound of that.”

I would too, honestly. If I know I was exposed to a known case, I could isolate and protect my family.

You signed up?! This is the RNA vaccine. First of its kind. I’m not willing. But, very interested in all the details should you get it. U MD is where I’ve been treated and continue to go so they have my respect and confidence. Just not feeling confident about being a guinea pig (they wouldn’t let me even if I wanted to tho ).

Keep us updated plz.

I didn’t sign up for the vaccine. I followed a link to another article, which had a link where I can express a statement of interest in actually being exposed to corona for research (developing a vaccine, etc.).

Yes, I’m aware that I could wind up on dialysis or with a pacemaker or whatever. I don’t have a death wish.

Idiot article did NOT have a link for the RNA vaccine, BTW. And the statement of interest for virus exposure that I filled out is a statement of interest and nothing more. There are several stages of evaluation for any study to determine if I’m actually a suitable candidate for exposure to the virus.

Contact tracing is supposed to be done when there are a handful of cases. At this point it is totally useless and an exercise in .gov “checking the boxes” and claiming they are doing something.

It is the equivalent of digging ditches, filling them with dirt, and then digging the ditches again.

It depends on how they do. For example, if they stop at your house and no one answers a knock on the door, do they wander around the property to see if you're around, etc or go into other buildings on the property?

If they did that, that would be a problem.

Right? Can you imagine? What is it an app? If you are “out and about” back at “normal life” soon that app will be alerting you all day long.

I don't want an app telling me to look out, you might be getting it.

I don't want to get it. Period.

Remember—to date no political leader (WH, governor, mayor) has stood up and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about masks.

If they want to rebut the “no-maskers” they all need to stand up and give the “speech”:

“Back in February and March we lied to you and told you masks were ineffective for the public. We told that lie because we did not have enough masks to protect our health care professionals and other critical workers. That was a mistake for two reasons.

First, lying to the public hurts our credibility with you—and makes it harder for you to believe us when we finally tell you the truth.

Second, we should have asked people to make their own masks, since any mask is better than no masks.

So, please accept our apology for our big mistake, and please help us help each other—and wear a mask in public.”

Has anyone noticed how many rights we have given up due to the “virus” and we did it so easily.

Want to guess how many we get back.

We did this exact dance back in 1918—and amazingly they were followed by the roaring twenties...
