Contact tacing? LOL

Honestly this starts with the WH & the task force though right? Not trying to defend homey but I htink it's part of "going forward".

Now he likely has not much of a clue how this will get going.

I'm working on a fake name and if they ask me for an id, I'll conveniently not have one. If some don't need it to vote, I won't need it for this purpose either.

Yep. They will move on down the list of impossible goals.

JBE is a moron. Don’t bring logic into this.

Not taking up for Trump but it’s my understanding that this is JBE’s requirement to get to Phase 1

Here are WH gating requirements

I hope you're joking.

If this was HIV and sexual partners, it would make sense. Because of the dangers of the disease and because the number of partners would (presumably) be relatively modest. The numbers are small enough to handle.

Contract tracing doesn’t work here, as shown with those figures, because the disease is already widespread, and you quickly get into the thousands. At that point, you’re telling whole towns to shut down because one person went shopping. Which is what we have now. And it isn’t warranted, because the disease is only a threat to a subset of older and immunodeficient Americans.

You’re better off using your resources to treat and support people who show symptoms that could be Covid-19. And on the other end, doing what you can to support at risk demographics.

Perhaps grocery baskets for the elderly, with a special protocol for ensuring they’ve been decontaminated prior to delivery.

Those are not requirements, they are guidelines. Essentially they are recommendations from the federal government to the states on when they believe it is safe to open up. Nothing more.

We are a federalist society, and the states have both the right to manage their intra-state commerce as well as a responsibility to open the state at a reasonable point.
