Go knock on doors in the ghetto. Right away boss./s

[xenia]

Who is paying the salaries? How do you monitor the job performance of these “detectives?”

[headstamp 2]

[[[a crucial initiative in the effort to curb the coronavirus,]]]]

Um, no it isn’t

[dp0622]

They gonna do this with the protesters?

[dynachrome]

“Who is paying the salaries?”

Taxpayers, of course.

[lightman]

And if the contactees tell them to phawck off....then what?

[dynachrome]

“I’m joe biden and I don’t know who I saw in the last 10 years.”

[Deaf Smith]

"How do you monitor the job..."

It is NYC. In union terms, it is called a No Show Job.

[Recompennation]

They know more about prison population infections and use it to release them on us sick or not. Tell me that this is not a fake crisis. A person dies every 11 seconds in this country. Show me where mortality rates are changing, have not seen that or the overflowing morgues.

[lightman]

If my phone identifier shows “Covid 19” or “contact tracer” or any combination thereof:

1) I’m not answering.

2) I “might” listen to the voicemail before deleting

3) I am DEFINITELY going to “block this contact”.

IOS has many advantages!

[dynachrome]

For Android, got to settings (not apps), click on google setting, it will show covid-19 tracer. If blue tooth is enabled, you are live. I don’t use blue tooth, myself, but is it really off?

[Secret Agent Man]

“is it really off?”

- exactly.

[dynachrome]

Kinda like Onstar for vehicles.

[FreedomPoster]

The contact tracers aren’t allowed to ask if the subject has been at a political protest per a De Blasio order, per something I read in the last week. Not joking.

[dynachrome]

I saw that, too. I’m sure the so-called homeless will answer honestly, also.

[lightman]

As I stated, IOS has many advantages.

BTW ALWAYS read the details before downloading the latest updates.

Sometimes “brighter, whiter, new and ‘improved’” is none ofe above.

[lightman]

What’s Onstar?

Siriously [sic] — never had it activated.

[dynachrome]

I have a tracphone,IOS minimal stuff on it.

[Texas Eagle]

With any amount of luck they’ll turn out to be your typical government “worker” and spend all day watching porn on their computer.

[funfan]

What happens if the person being traced just makes up names and where they were and send them people on a goose chase?
