Has anyone heard or does anyone have any idea what may happen if you are not compliant with a tracer?
I know when dealing with regulatory bodies, they try to claim our basic rights do not apply, but inalienable means they should always apply. I would imagine the type of information a tracer would be seeking would be quite invasive. It seems they are not only interested in whom you may have had contact but with anyone you may potentially have contact.
Also, if the tracer contacts someone who has been exposed, are they not in fact a contact at that point and can no longer trace as they will be vectors?
Don’t know, but I can guarantee I wouldn’t be compliant.....
Dang. Now I’m gonna have COVID tracers AND the US Census people banging on my front door.
I haven't been anywhere or come in contact with anyone for ten weeks - there is nothing to trace....
That should end it.
Cuomo reminds New Yorkers they may get calls from Contact Tracers
Wonder if anyone got called after Fredo and his family broke quarantine...
“Has anyone heard ...”
I don’t recall.
As far as I understand the process, when you test positive, they ask you if you’ve come into close contact with anyone in the past two weeks. If you provide them contact information for one or more other people, they contact those individuals and tell them (without saying who it is) that they’ve been in contact with a person who has tested positive for disease X and they should get tested and/or self-quarantine while watching for symptoms.
I’ve never head of it being compulsory. The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual (https://www.cdc.gov/eis/field-epi-manual/index.html) documents the process. Contact tracing has been used with HIV, tuberculosis, Ebola, and other outbreaks in the US for decades. I understand some will tell you Bill Gates is personally coming in to your bedroom at night to yank your brain out and replace it with Satan’s underpants, but contact tracing isn’t anything new or different with COVID-19. It’s from manuals decades old, updated regularly as methods and technology change and it’s all right out in the open.
Thanks.
The contact tracing issue really stems from the aids virus because it’s very important then to track down who you’ve actually had sex with
First of all this virus is over and is pretty much gone forever
To whatever extent it , and H1N1 , and H2N5 and measles etc. float around and infect people - so what? It’s been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years
The point being that by the time they hire these kids to go try to be a contact tracer the jobs going to be unnecessary
Furthermore it’s so much more difficult task and intrusive to try to think about anybody you even talk to her came within a certain distance of
So we can expect liberal governments to hire contact tracers which will probably operate until the end of summer and it’ll be like your government agency make - work program. Like GSA Peace Corp.
Fava beans. Chianti.
Nothing. And the tracers generally work by phone, or after you’re better, or under strong precaution. None of this is actually terribly new. Contact tracing has been part of figuring out disease paths pretty much since we figured out enough germ theory to know it’s useful information.
Yeah baby! Trace THIS bitch!
I’ll comply. I’ll tell them I’ve been in contact with Dick Durban, Mayor Lightfoot and Pritzer!
If they try to talk to you in spanish say "No hablo espanol".
Tracers work both ways.

“when you test positive, they ask you if you’ve come into close contact with anyone in the past two weeks.”
I have a mandatory test in a couple weeks required for surgery. I can’t even recall whom I’ve come in contact with, and I’m not going to try real hard to some up with names.
Arrrrrgh... No luck there Bluebeard16, they never would believe you would associate with such lowlifes.....
