CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Contact Tracing

CDC Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Contact Tracing ^ | daily | CDC

[Grandpa Drudge]

I just spent a considerable amount of time reviewing everything I could find from our immensely powerful CDC on this subject, starting here at their index.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/open-america/contact-tracing/index.html

Within that link you will find:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/principles-contact-tracing.html

Within that are many pdf documents with detail.
The “principles-contact-tracing-booklet.pdf” is a pretty clear outline.
The download link to that pdf is at the bottom of that page.

Apple and Google (Android) have already introduced apps to support this massive tracking effort in support of the CDC.

Apple in iOS 13.5 introduced an exposure notification API, which lets apps from public health authorities and governments worldwide help people figure out if they've been exposed to COVID-19, (to support Contact Tracing).

Android apps are promised as well. I found a link with a good explanation of this app.

"It’s a pandemic! You’ve a responsibility to others."

I agree completely that we have a responsibility to others.
A great many others. And to future generations as well...

But IS it a Pandemic, or is it war?

It is certainly a MEME war...

Yeah, the politics of AIDS is why I wasn’t sure they contact traced it like all STDs.
Got a point about life insurance, but I don’t think it makes a difference now.

I’m willing to see if contact tracing info is treated respectfully.
It’s VERY helpful.
I hope it is respected.

[mrsmith]

Don’t be silly.

[Jane Long]

Yep.

[mrsmith]

No.
Contact tracing is a proven method to successfully defeat infectious diseases.

[EasySt]

“Don’t be silly.”

Ok, How about I be dead serious?

I’ve looked beyond the lockstep lock down EneMedia with
their approved “experts”, the accepted narrative, the fake
news, the lies, the spies and their fear mongering cries
to conform or die, *cough*Cavuto!*cough*
...and their 4AM Journal List mass synchronized talking points.

One wild #Fearfection Injection after another.
While #Knowingly hiding certain important truths.

But that’s just my impression. You will need to do you.

Now my question is "what percentage of infected people will actually participate, and will that have any impact on the continued spread of the disease?"

I suspect very little, if any.

At the moment I believe the only thing accomplished so far is a dramatic (and unconstitutional) intrusion into our civil rights with this Contact Tracing sham.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe Contact Tracing can't work unless they mandate regular testing of the entire population - and they know that.

They have hired something like 100,000 Contact tracers and noted that some state or other hired 60,000 etc. and this is just to trace those exhibiting symptoms. But most people with covid don't have symptoms or have symptoms too mild to report.

So any effort they made to trace patients identified with Covid through medical offices would not help control the spread - not with another 90% of the population either over it quickly or asymptomatic.

The only way Contact Tracing could ever work with covid is to force regular testing of the ENTIRE population.

The hundreds of thousands of contact tracers who trace and monitor quarantined people daily costs alot - where are they getting the money? They are spending the money intentionally to run up a big bill tracing contacts with those known to be ill.

The next stage of their plan is to announce the extensive cost of such tracing, they'll claim tracing is helping but Covid will continue to outstrip them until the entire population is tested regularly. They will calculate based on current expenses for contact tracing, that the costs are too high to trace the entire population. They will moan we doomed....unless.....we use technology to trace contacts. Most people have a cell phone - make them have an app. Then when one of their contacts is identified with covid, all who have been in range of that persons phone can inexpensively be identified.

That would help crack down on non compliance for those who are quarantined, it would help then prevent people from gathering to protest lockdown because they wouldn't need cops, they'd need phones.

People would leave phone at home. Those wishing to manage us like cattle would tell the public that covid will destroy unless we employ technology like the Gates "chip".

I'm sure it's coincidence that Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, and Gates all contributed massive amounts of money to start a program that includes "epidemic control" and contact tracing - they started it 5 years ago in preparation for the rollout we are seeing now.

Here's an article which includes the information and links to their epidemic control program website.

I note that Gates/Zuckerberg/Bloomberg funded program specifies that people who cannot quarantine in their own homes will be housed elsewhere. That's echoed in a talk by an official in Ventura County, CA. The example was if a Covid patient had to share a bathroom with other family members, they would be moved and housed elsewhere.

It occurs to me that we have to trust them to tell us whether our test was negative or positive - many people don't have symptoms. How much you want to bet that conservatives' tests come back positive for Covid far more often than that of Lefties?

[mrsmith]

Yeah, the “lockdown” has been overdone.
It served the purpose of “flattening the curve” maybe- and that’s all it could do.

Nothing to do with contact tracing though.
With effective privacy controls contact tracing is indisputably a common good.

It’s been a pandemic for 3 months. I still don’t see a bunch of dead bodies lying in the streets. With all the homeless people you would think there would be at least one or two and there aren’t even one or two. Three months. But it’s a pandemic.

[Swordmaker]

Are you sure you don’t have to opt out/disable?

It’s off by default.

“ Exposure Notification is a feature that's off by default in iOS 13.5, and actually using the API requires you to download an app from a verified health authority. Many countries are developing country and state-specific apps that users can download.

Without an app that you explicitly download and opt in to using, the Exposure Notification API on the ‌iPhone‌ doesn't do anything at this time. Once you've downloaded an app and consented to using it, the Exposure Notification feature will become active on your smartphone.” — Apple's Exposure Notification System: Everything You Need to Know

Don’t care. Nobody is tracking my phone. Don’t care at all. Freedom is worth a few deaths. It always has been

[mrsmith]

Look in the nursing homes for the dead.

But it is interesting that the homeless, etc, haven’t suffered as much as one would expect.

[EasySt]

“I’m willing to see if contact tracing info is treated respectfully.”
“It’s VERY helpful.”
“I hope it is respected.”

That would be nice, wouldn’t it? But how likely is that?

Such a tremendous, Global capability. How do you manage
the temptation to Tyranny, and Fear Mongering and the root
driver of all of it...

The over abundance of petty tyrants searching for their
next Powergasm. That satisfying feeling of having taken
control of destiny, and any puny human in the way, and
MADE IT HAPPEN, Their Way!
(Or ANY way that would share their pain.)

It is human to tend towards a bit of tyranny and control,
but some who have it bad are attracted to positions of
power, from the power to call the police on your mask-less
neighbors, or the power to get all obsessive/compulsive
running an HOA, to the power to send Covid-19 patients back
into nursing homes instead of hospital ships, just for example...

We always need to catch ourselves, our neighbors and our
representatives and eternally pull them back from the brink.

My question therefore becomes “This VERY helpful thing”,
just who wants it the most, and why?”

And we still haven’t answered the original posters questions.

I want to know, because the potential to turn this into
those Memes above, only scratches the surface of what it
ultimately enables.

I did, you had confirmed deflections in place. Well done Grandpa. Deeper dive, deeper questions for you noobpopop.

Did your contract stipulate that you not post until this date and further more stipulate that you infiltrate the last known bastion of FReespeech in this republic or is the FR your refuge, your safe space, after being whipped like you wanted to be? How much you get to sell out in ‘99? asking for a FRen. #AnswerwiselyDrudge

ROTFLMAO!

Really????

What planet are you on?

Cook County Board Votes To Release COVID-19 Patient Addresses To First Responders

And EVERY First Responder in Chicago is an honest, well-meaning person, unaffiliated with gang-bangers who aren’t going to go clean-out the person’s house as the first-responder is transporting the Covid19 person to the hospital? Right? Sure! Or, they aren’t above selling access to the COVID19 patient database to someone who would DO something like that, or would target those people for selling COVID19 cures. . .

You are one of those whom the government could sell sand at inflated retail prices while you’re standing in the middle of the Sahara Desert. . .

[EasySt]

I take it back. Looks like Ransomnote is doing a pretty good job of answering the OP’s question.. ;-)

[mrsmith]

I gave my reply to the OP original question. Don’t see yours...

I don’t see any need or ‘easiness’ for big tech to have the results of contact tracing.
Willing to see if it happens anyway given our corrupt Congress. l Really don’t expect it though.

[Bob434]

this is just swell- sick people will NOT go to doctors now because they don’t want to get labeled and followed everywhere- so they will die outside of hospitals

[mrsmith]

Hey!
Haven’t seen you for a while.

No idea what idiocy you’re promoting here, and don’t care.
