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.

in Australia, about 23% have downloaded the CovidSafe tracing app, and the numbers have stalled. Govt says 40% needed for tracing to be effective. huge PR push got the first few million on board. many people have no intention of joining in, especially as, if u r told u have been in close proximity with some unnamed person for more than 15 minutes, you and all your family have to stay at home for 2 weeks. what???

in U.S., I keep hearing you need a 300,000 tracing army - nearly 1 tracer for every covid death worldwide. what???

FakeNewsMSM is on board. what???

21 Apr: Politico: Tracking the virus may require 300,000 workers. We’re nowhere close.
Contact tracing is essential to reopening the economy and containing outbreaks, but the workforce doesn’t exist to do it.
By DAN GOLDBERG and ALICE MIRANDA OLLSTEIN
Before the pandemic, state and local health departments had fewer than 2,000 workers carrying out contact tracing...
The real number needed could be somewhere between 100,000 and 300,000 — an astronomical figure that seems near impossible to reach without a massive national program to build a highly trained public health workforce...

Using test results and in some cases, just hours of training, the newly drafted workers must interview infected people, identify those with whom they’ve come into contact and convince those people to self-quarantine. The recruits will be tracking a stealthy disease many times more virulent than the flu that can be transmitted before people show symptoms.
“Learning contact tracing is not easy,” said Tom Frieden, the former CDC director and New York City health commissioner. “Training is very important. Listening to someone, understanding their concerns, helping them remember.”...

Senate Democrats last week proposed a plan to spend $30 billion on measures like disease surveillance and contact tracing. Sens. Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen have a separate plan that would expand FEMA and Americorps to bolster contact tracing efforts in the states...

There are also concerns that the rush to deploy workers will overlook minority communities that have been hit especially hard during the pandemic and may not be getting enough resources because of inadequate data collection...

Newsom is building a Calif army of AmeriCorps, Conservation Corps, Cal Volunteers tracers. a veritable army of Dem community organizers! what???

no thanks.

Excellent post, MAGAthon!
Boy! No thanks, indeed!

The Posting Fates must think so too, as they insisted yours be repeated! ;-)

I think the Powers That Be should sell it as a way to
contact trace the common cold.

Because THAT is the level this particular Fly Swatter
can operate at, ultimately.

The EneMedia tell us one thing... Dr. Fauci himself told
us another, back in 2005...

The President let the cat out of Fauci's bag with this:

So if anyone thinks we're a bit tired of our
Two Month Free Trial of Communism, well, Yeah.

Now we'll have our Liberty back, thank you very much!

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

And that means DAILY TESTING!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes. That's an important point.

And WHERE would the entire population go for daily testing? What venue could test EVERYONE, EVERYDAY? Toolbooths everywhere still wouldn't handle the needed capacity. How about nanobot technology embedded in a chip in the body? That would handle it.

[2aProtectsTheRest]

They actually do contact tracing for HIV, tuberculosis, Ebola, and other diseases. It’s right there in the CDC Field Epidemiology Manual as standard operating procedure for all health departments in the United States dealing with outbreaks of any kind. https://www.cdc.gov/eis/field-epi-manual/index.html

It’s been standard practice for decades. This isn’t new for COVID-19 and it isn’t specific to the United States. South Korea began an aggressive campaign of contact tracing and quarantine to compliment their blanket testing early on.

[EasySt]

In fact, THAT was a Triple Post!

All at 4:36:25 AM

I don't think I've ever seen a triple like that before!

Spooky!

Must be important! *Reading...*

Yup! Scary Business!

One best protect themselves from contact with these
soon to be Fema Camp Tagger Empowered Derps.

AKA:
The Possibly Terminal Contagious Contract Contact People
Tracers. (PTCCCPT's for short.)

Tag, you're it for my quota today...

No known relation to FPPE's (Flying Purple People Eaters)
But far, FAR more dangerous to a Nation's Liberty, and
possibly YOURS.

Maybe if you can keep from getting sick you won't be
telling those "One Day, in FEMA Camp" stories.

Trust your Dr. (Unless he's trying to sell you an
untested drug like Remdisivir.)

“It’s been standard practice for decades. This isn’t new for
COVID-19 and it isn’t specific to the United States.”

Of course, but now we’ll have the new and improved New
World Order level system and process.
We’ll ultimately track every human and every disease.
Papers Please.

What is it about THIS flu at THIS time, that needs THIS
level of TSA ultimately on every street corner style and
level of control, at least electronically?

And these 300,000 Contact Tracers?
Now THERE’s a Job posting just begging every poor vengeful
petty tyrant apply. You thought 50K TSA agents were a pain...

Ha!

Is COVID-19 a deadly level 4 bio weapon that is going to
kill us all? Is it World War III and this is the only way
to survive?

Keep doing what you’ve been doing for decades, and don’t
take my Life, Liberty and Happiness away because you can,
and it’s “more effective”, “More efficient”.

NO ONE has shown that the proposed level of intrusion
into our lives is either neccesary, nor prudent.

This is a Power Grab for money and control and
because they think they can, and know they must,
if they are to prevent the wheels of justice from
finally grinding what WILL BE GROUND under President Trump.

Ransom, you’re back!

I’ve got to get a bit of sleep before I make Dad breakfast.

Have fun!

I want all of our kids and grand kids running around,
painting and trading and hiding rocks in fun places again.

Those are their Memes.

Thanks!!

I knew you would know. I appreciate the research.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for your (historical) reply, 2aProtectsTheRest.

I am with EasySt and Laura Ingraham, on this.

When LIB Govs are pushing THIS hard to mandate something, and we’ve seen proof of how unhinged Dems can weaponize agencies, I say NO THANKS!!

[2aProtectsTheRest]

I’m not in favor of anything being mandated. To the best of my knowledge, CDC’s manual assumes voluntary cooperation only (e.g. they ask you questions, you choose whether to help, if you do, they follow procedures on contacting people to warn them they’ve been exposed to someone - they don’t say who - who is infected and thus should get tested/self quarantine).

I’m fine with that. I may or may not talk to them depending on the situation, and I think it’s fine if some choose to cooperate and others don’t. But mandated compliance? Definitely no on board with that. I think my memory will suddenly develop (even more) problems.

Thanks, bitt. I hadn’t seen that yet, but a first glance I suspect this fiasco of government control is progressing even faster than I feared.

Be diligent!

[Grandpa Drudge]

Thanks for that, 2aProtectsTheRest.

This is a little off topic (well, maybe not) but it needs to be aired.

OMG! President trump is allowing Americans to PRAY! HORRORS! https://youtu.be/RBVQBMSK05E?t=2282

[Iscool]

So whoever tests positive for the virus will be in quarantine...Your kids likely will be removed from your home...Over half the population could test positive for the virus...And they all are going to be quarantined??? Plus, the tests are unreliable enough that they shouldn’t even be used...

[mrsmith]

Good grief!
If the program is actually so mismanaged it wouldn’t do any good to participate anyway.
But there’s no reason it should be.
It’s a very straightforward process that’s been done for ages.

[EasySt]

“Done for ages”

See my post #88.

[Grandpa Drudge]

I’m wondering if you even read my last reply to you (post #78)

[Iscool]

You don’t address any of the concerns put to you...It certainly seems you DO have a dog in this fight...
