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.

And that means DAILY TESTING!
Whatever LOL!
Privacy of contact tracing info is a legitimate concern.
Nonetheless contact tracing is a very powerful defense to infectious diseases.
Oh, it will (spit).............
Amazed at the irrational nonsense Freepers will post!
Yeah, privacy of contract tracing info is a legitimate concern.
CJ, I know very little about Matt Drudge, except that I share the name (for reasons that have nothing to do with him).
What little I do know (from long time ago reading of his junk) I would be very surprised to see him in a forum like this one and using his real name.
It’s been three months. I’m educated in economics and took a lot of statistics as part of that education. I did back of the envelope calculations back in February with the data available then and first realized they were working with only the two sigmas to the far left of a bell curve and making claims based on incomplete data to make their predictions. They were using the cohorts of those who died and those who were hospitalized from infection of Covid19. That ignored many other cohorts normally expected to be found in any disease that form the bell curve of infection in a population. We were NOT ALLOWED to see that spectrum of infection which should have been included in any calculation to determine mortality and morbidity.
Using standard models, I completed the expected bell curve, including the infected cohorts with moderate symptom infections, mild symptom infections, asymptomatic infections, and those who might have viral loads but not infected at the far right of the bell curve. You then look at those who should be counted and used as the denominator for calculating a mortality rate for case mortality, and that DROPPED DRASTICALLY from the hyperbole that the mainstream news media was crowing 24/7. By including those estimated, but which had to exist real world, classes in the calculation the mortality rate dropped WAY below 1% while the infection rate went up. It spread easily, but it was not deadly, except in those who were at risk due to weakened immune systems, someone one found in many diseases. This one was particularly that way.
There’s a REASON the progressive leftists push infected people toward places where those at risk are likely to be infected such as nursing homes. . . Maybe I’m being extremely cynical. . . But it increases the numbers of those dying to advance the underlying agenda. For that same reason, they exaggerate by any means the actual COVID19 deaths, counting all deaths in the past three months, no matter from what cause, as Covid deaths, even deaths from auto-accidents, suicides, homicides, Myocardial Infarctions, diabetes, pneumonia, strokes, what ever, if they died during this period, they called it a Covid Death. The CDC reports the combined number on their first webpage, but if you dig deep, you’ll find a chart that breaks that number down and find it composed in a chart that shows it includes “season flu pneumonia deaths,” “Covid19 deaths,” and “Covid19 induced pneumonia deaths” which THEN gets the COVID component of the adjusted death count of another number they’ve come up with after adjusting the official number downward when they took out all the non-Covid related deaths in the first page number!
Many experts are joking that COVID19 is a miracle cure for every other disease due to the fact that the charts on the CDC website that tracked deaths for those diseases showed those deaths suddenly took a nose dive in mid-March. For example, the chart tracking seasonal influenza was trending upward until about march 14, then dropped to near ZERO. Similar traces on other tracking charts for other diseases showed exactly the same trend lines, as those deaths were subsumed into the counts for COVID19. It was ABSURD! Dr. Birx stated on the President’s National Briefing that they had instructed states to report all deaths as Covid related. Really! I saw and heard her say it. . . And Fauci, interrupted her to change the subject. But coroners and funeral homes around the country are calling foul on bodies they are processing where the state is changing death certificates right and left from actual causes of death to Covid. It’s pervasive! In other words, the numbers are NOT RELIABLE!
There is so much smoke being blown up our collective assets that we cannot believe a word from the deep state Leftists or the news media.
As usual, just responding to your willingness to kowtow to your government masters and to believe anything they’re trying to sell you. Got a nice pyramid in Egypt for sale if you’d like to buy it.
LOL!
C’mon.
You’ve worked hard for the distinction of someone I don’t bother with.
And you're right, I'm just getting started.
Welcome aboard!
You nut! LOL!
He posted a fair question.
Been an interesting thread.
"Willing to see" are you? So willing to see, you
don't much care if it happens anyway, either?
I see.
I see too much.
Some of us have already seen more than enough.
Such willingness has led to some pretty dark places in history.
Always "Willingly".
Sorry, Mister. I'm NOT WILLING.
~Easy
Yeah, saw that pic much earlier.
So... is contact tracing info safe?
(Insert “Boy From Brazil” dentist here)... or not?
Contact tracing is a very powerful weapon against infectious diseases.
...That can easily be perverted into a powerful weapon
for slavery. (Without changing a single thing abut it)
Won't that be fun.
I say stick to contact tracing the way it's been done.
It's effective enough, unless you just want to practice
and train all of us for the round 2 or round 3 bio-weapon
to come, if the Population Control Creeps win.
I'm not going to enable "Auschwitz" level Tracking, better
than anything IBM provided Hitler, just to swat the bug de jour.

The simple fact is that most people cannot even get a virus test today unless you answer a questionnaire and already display either the symptoms or have a reasonable assumption you were recently exposed.
A very large percentage of infected people either have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, and will never be tested unless it is part of a serious widespread survey, yet they are likely as contagious as those being tracked.
And if an infected person agrees to be tracked, it is highly unlikely he will knowingly be in a situation where he will be in close proximity to anyone who does not already know he is infected.
So since only a tiny percentage (if any at all) of infected people will trigger this tracing app, and this tracing app cannot detect the large number of “infected but not traced” people, there is practically NO chance it can fulfill its stated purpose.
So now the really important question is “What, really, is the fundamental purpose of this monstrous contact tracing sham?”
Aw gee, don’t make yourself out to be such a fool.
I’m open to factual responses to the privacy of contact info.
It’s a legitimate concern that can be addressed.
No.
Testing of the general population is taking place in many areas.
Strange that you say that’s not so.
Why?
“I’m open to factual responses to the privacy of contact info.”
How private were our President’s communications?
His staff’s?
Is there any point at all where your trust of the Deep
State, Big Pharma, the CDC, The Who, The CIA, the FBI,
the DOJ, the NSA, The Gates Foundation, all the other
big $ concerns all ready to go ALL in...
Is there any point along that road where you might take
a peak at current events, recent examples of what happens
with such power, legal or not...
And maybe just hesitate long enough to examine this abyss
that seems SO attractive to you...
Please.
For the Children.
Or maybe you can just scare us into leaping into it.
Before the election, of course.
