Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly does “contact tracing” work? Would we be required to turn over our phones to reveal every phone call, text, etc.? The only person with whom I have had direct physical contact in the last several weeks is my wife, but every time I go out to the grocery stores, I am within close proximity to many people. Needless to say; I don’t know any of the other people in the store with me, but would they be considered “people with whom I have come in contact”? How could that be traced? Sounds very Orwellian and ridiculously unnecessary.

I don’t think we’d actually have to physically “turn over” our phones. There are apps by Google and Apple that will provide the data. They say you yourself must download the app(s), but I have a feeling it can be done remotely by someone else.

The way it is going to work in California is paid political storm troops will come to your house if you are positive and require your obedience to all their requests then decide if they need to forcibly quarantine you and remove you or your family. You will have no say. And yes there will be armed law enforcement at hand to assist if you disrespect or object to the process.

This model has been effectively been used many times in the past. You may or may not have to wear an arm band, and you probably won’t be loaded into cattle cars for a train ride, so there’s that.

Legitimate contact tracing is used to contain a virus when it is containable. For example, if we had 20 cases.

What we have now is a surveillance state using an uncontainable virus as an excuse.

If you have Google Maps or another map app on your phone, every move of your phone is already being tracked.

I’ll tell you how it works. You get up out of self-quarantine, raise a finger to Fauci and Birxy, and go about your day. If they want to “contact trace” you, start moving under the radar so they can’t.

What I find interesting is apple & google contact tracing apps. Civilian GPS accuracy is something like 3 meters so that should be as good as we can get with OUR phones right? Social distance is 6 feet. Does apple/google have access to better GPS accuracy on OUR phones than we do?
