Alabama & Massachusetts Are Handing the Addresses of People With China Flu Over to Police

we are living in scary times
how far do we let the authorities go before we really push back?
I understand the need to protect 1st responders, but they should treat EVERY call like a China Flu call during a pandemic - right?
so why chip away at privacy rights even more?

Privacy advocates say it won't protect first responders and it exposes the sick to privacy violations.

Two U.S. states — Alabama and Massachusetts — have begun providing the addresses of those known to have been diagnosed with COVID-19 to police in a bid to contain the spread and protect first responders who might answer a call where a coronavirus sufferer is involved.
Alabama began providing the addresses — but not names — to police and other emergency responders starting more than a week ago. The information is being distributed to 85 emergency communications districts in the state, and is then relayed to police officers and other first responders when they go out on calls.
“It’s only on an as-known, as-needed basis,” said Leah Missildine, executive director of Alabama’s 911 Board. “The impetus behind this is to protect first responders because 9-1-1 receives the information and coordinates the response of first responders. That was deemed the most efficient way to share this information.”
Massachusetts’ order went into effect March 18. It allows the health board to share the addresses — again, not names — of people who tested positive for COVID-19 with emergency responders. The order cites a need for “continued operation of public health and safety services during the state of emergency.”
The Massachusetts order specifies the information “may not be retained” at the end of the executive order, and that it should only be used for responding to emergency calls. The receiving entity of information must keep it “confidential.”

This was done during the start of the AIDS disease. It was done out of the fear of the unknown. It didnt last long. But these are different times.

Leah is full of shite. She certainly is a useful stooge though.

Yeah wondering that too. Only thing I can figure is the doctor was forced to report the case to CDC (I think they have to by law).

I’m in favor. If the govt wants to mandate this shutdown on us, then at least let everyone know who the infected are.

I hope they get the shite sued out of them.

Wish they would hand out info on people with the herpes.

I’m also in favor for this very reason:
One arse-hoe I recently met decided that now that he is infected, HEY let’s go to work! He opted to return to his job knowing he has CV19.
Now he’s compromised every person in his office, cost the company a shitload in cleaning fees, shut the office down for eternity all the while probably having his “ohhh frick” moment.
Screw that dude. He can burn in hell for all I care.

They have quotes from the director of ADPH and Alabama's 911 board.

According to Leah Missildine, executive director of Alabama’s 911 Board, the state began providing the addresses to protect first-responders from the virus.
“It’s only on an as-known, as-needed basis,” she told Vice News. “The impetus behind this is to protect first responders because 9-1-1 receives the information and coordinates the response of first responders. That was deemed the most efficient way to share this information.”
Alabama began sending the addresses without names more than a week ago. The Alabama Department of Public Health gives an address list to the 911 Board every day, who then gives the information to a designated response director if there are active cases in a district.
Arrol Sheehan, director of public information at the ADPH, told Vice that state law allows for third-parties to receive information on someone’s infectious disease if there is a risk of transmission.
it's confirmed
