Do I Know Enough to Get a Job as a Contact Tracer?

Though requirements vary from state to state, many of them are hiring thousands of contact tracers in an effort to curb coronavirus spread. Here’s a brief quiz to check your knowledge.

States across the country are scrambling to hire tens of thousands of contact tracers, who will play a key role in keeping the coronavirus contained.

Many experts I interviewed said that a high school diploma should be sufficient for a basic contact tracing job, though teams should be led by an experienced public health worker. Indeed, this could be an opportunity for the U.S. to provide employment for thousands of people who have recently lost their jobs.

But every state has different requirements. Georgia’s basic contact tracing role requires at minimum a high school diploma, while New York City requires at minimum either a bachelor’s degree with 12 semester credits in health education or the sciences, or a high school diploma along with four years of job experience in health promotion or disease intervention.

There is also a form you can fill in if you want to “help” them with stories and investigations. Lots of questions. An ex-president is going to help.

If you are unlucky you get to trace the “Train to Busan” (A very bloody Korean zombie movie.)

With things like this it will start out all innocent-like with various academic requirements, nut later they will see the need to change standards as it becomes more and more difficult to enforce all nicey-like. People will get pissed and come after the limp-wristed snowflakes and like snow they will fall.

Next stage questionnaire will ask things like:
Have you been a union enforcer, member of a violent gang.
How many years?
Did you do time?
What do you do when people won’t answer?
a) get down on one knee and beg?
b) verbally intimidate them?
c) beat the crap out of them until they answer?
d) call some ‘friends’ and introduce them?
e) tell the vic he’s been doxxed?

I believe contact tracing is less about health and more about providing information for ambulance chasing lawyers who will tie up the economy as states open up!

The answer is 10% and 3%.

What’s the percentage of ‘contact tracers’ who will get their asses kicked and the percentage who’ll never be heard from again.

Great. A whole new gang of taxpayer-subsidized government-empowered Karens.

Question 1 I have a sec. Can I carry while working? Right. first I would never bring it. Never did during election judge training. Second as long as I was not working in a school I carried ignoring the contract company rules. While no one I worked with knew some, even dims may have suspected but were not concerned.

You’d be surprised at how many teachers carry at school. I do, and at least 2 others on my very small campus do as well.

Have you secretly always wanted to be a Stalker?
Are you fast at dodging bullets?
Are you too dumb to work for TSA?

This job might be for you.

When the Corona Virus has reached its end, you could become a skip tracer.

Come to think of it, skip tracers could be recruited to do the contact tracing.   They already know how to get a foot in the door, so to speak.
