If I were king for a day I’d have left the economy open, taken measures to protect those most at risk, and spent the trillions of dollars on universal healthcare instead of propping up the 1% and throwing a veritable pittance to the people that need it the most so they could turn around and give it right back to the 1%.

For those interested, here’s a NPR story on the status of coronavirus contact tracing efforts at the state level:

It's too bad you tried to troll on this particular topic because I've been writing about Influenza for years, including on many occasions within the Cesspool.

The answer, of course, is extremely concerned — and diligent — about the severity of any seasonal mutation.

In fact, much more concerned than the scope of your unsurprisingly ignorant question. Because, of course, it's not just H1N1 that poses a pandemic threat.

The 1968 pandemic was H3N2. 1957's was H2N2.

You're getting there. The passive-aggression is a good touch.

But as Qyou know, the medical personnel don't make those policy decisions. That's for Gates & Soros.

Maybe they don’t make the policy, but I assume they have opinions.

Gates can’t even keep viruses out of his software!!!1!

A contact tracer in NYC can make a $57,000 salary with benefits and work remotely.

https://work.chron.com/starting-wage-nypd-8547.html
New officers in the NYPD receive a starting base salary of $42,500 a year.

And for how the people who start at more than an NYPD officer are doing in their stay at home phone jobs .....
https://www.boston.com/news/coronavirus/2020/06/20/new-york-city-hired-3000-workers-contact-tracing-not-going-well
Perry Halkitis, dean of the School of Public Health at Rutgers University, which is guiding an effort to bring on thousands of tracers in New Jersey, called New York City’s 35% rate for eliciting contacts “very bad.”

“For each person, you should be in touch with 75% of their contacts within a day,” he said.

Contact tracing can be very effective during the early stages of a contagious disease. Especially if the population is receptive to government monitoring.
We're neither one of those.

I forgot to add that NYC contact tracers aren't supposed to ask about attendance at the "peaceful protests".

It’s not the idea that bugs me but its rather shitty implementation.

Not much more than an excuse to “show some public effort” by overpaying a bunch of people to underperform at a job. For which they’ll undoubtedly pat themselves on the back for at a later date.

Activity doesn’t equal accomplishment.

This is just another government "jobs" program like the TSA or FINRA or well you get the point

and unsurprisingly Rob completely missed the point of my question
