The open-source sofware program permitted the centralized tracking of contacts and rapididentfication of links between cases. Workplace contacts were at higher risk of developing symptoms.Although childhood contacts were less likely to become cases, children were more likely to infecthousehold members, perhaps because of the difficulty of successfully isolating children in householdsettings
Quote:
Follow up through the quarantine period was provided by the contact tracers in each local health district unless 1) the contacts themselves became cases or 2) if they cohabitants of a known case. The follow up was done via phone, an app, or email based on the contact’s preference. Domestic care units provided the follow up for these two groups and were responsible for reporting any cases that developed among cohabitants to the central care database of their respective health units. Contact tracing was performed by public health visitors, nurses and doctors and, after case numbers overwhelmed capacities by other health workers such as safety inspectors, controllers or administrative personnel, who were repurposed as contact-tracers.At the beginning of the pandemic, the contact tracing activities of the individual services were recorded non-standardized Excel sheets, which were inconsistently completed by those performing the tracing.This method of collecting information did not always provide overall information on the number of contacts under surveillance, on the nature of the relationship between case and contact, on how many contacts had in turn become cases (outbreaks), and on the starting and ending dates of follow-up surveillance. We therefore developed a computer-based monitoring system that standardized data collection and facilitates the surveillance of contacts and outbreaks, allowed periodic analyses for the production of standard reports, and permitted more detailed epidemiological analysis for better identification of high-risk contacts and the targeting of contact tracing efforts. It also allowed for the identification of any cases that developed among contacts who were cohabiting with a known case. Although contact tracing is an important pillar of the Test, Treat and Track strategy of the World Health Organizaon (1), little is known about the yield of such tracing. In this paper, we present the results of contact tracing in the Province of Trento for March and April 2020, including number of contacts per case, secondary attack rates overall and by the demographic characteristics of the contacts, and the association between case characteristics and the likelihood of their contacts themselves becoming cases.
where is our contact tracing?
You cant track individuals in this country. Deep State will find you with the info and ground truth that you actually exist.Quote:

CDC study finds kids of all ages may play key role in virus transmission amid push to reopen schools
The highest percentage of children who tested positive at a sleepaway camp in Georgia were also the youngest
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that children of all ages are susceptible to coronavirus infection — and can efficiently transmit the virus to others.
The study analyzes a coronavirus super spreader event at a Georgia sleepaway camp in June.
Several hundred campers (with a median age of 12) and staffers (with a median age of 17)
were tested for COVID-19.
Of the 344 individuals for whom test results were available,
260 came back positive for COVID-19,
or more than 75%.
The highest percentage of children who tested positive were the youngest.
Fifty-one percent of those confirmed to be infected were between 6 and 10 years old,
44% were between 11 and 17 years old and
33% were between 18 to 21 years old.
"This investigation adds to the body of evidence demonstrating that
children of all ages are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and contrary to early reports,
might play an important role in transmission,"

I read in S Korea the contact tracing apps were mainly voluntary. Everyone would get notifications of infections in places theyd been and it would be up to them to do next steps. (Unless I read wrong)
Thats sounds great and not infringing on p4ivacy. Basically voluntary.
But then again here we are talking about stupid americans who think masks are slave muzzles
South Korean voluntary is different from muh freedom voluntary. The ROK government effectively achieved a lockdown but that was all voluntary too.Quote:

What kinda BS is this?
Quote:
Later, a woman named Grace Watters, who claimed on Twitter to be Hannah’s sister and an alum of the school, added that “multiple students” had been suspended for sharing what they saw in their first days of school during the pandemic.
The sisters declined to comment directly, but Grace suggested to The Post in a Twitter message that NPHS has a history of “disproportionate punishments.”
Despite Hannah Watters’ citation, the severe punishment she faced appears to be in accordance with a recently established disciplinary code regarding how the school is presented on social media by its students. On Wednesday, Carmona reportedly announced over the intercom that any student found criticizing the school on social media could face disciplinary consequences, BuzzFeed reported.

Former health directors told the Palm Beach Post this is unusual, as they typically would provide the schools with such advice.
"Yes, we always advise them what to do,"
"Schools are educators; they are not health experts. They have nowhere else to turn but us.”

"New York teachers’ unions this week said that just one positive case of COVID-19 in a school should prompt an “immediate closure” for 14 days, as the groups roll out their proposals for the fall 2020 semester amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The New York State United Teachers and the United Federation of Teachers this week urged the state and its health officials to “issue clear protocols for how and when school districts must close their buildings,” as well as how they will perform contact tracing and initiate quarantines in the event of a positive COVID-19 case in a school or classroom this fall...

Keep repeating “freedoms and liberty nowhere else in the world” as many times as you want, it won’t change the fact that America isn’t any more free than Canada, Western Europe, Japan or South Korea. You’re talking about Japan and South Korea like they’re communist countries, Japan never even went to a full lockdown like we did, their citizens just wore masks.
We still have a western frontier mentality while most of these other countries recognize you usually have to get along with other people, like your neighbors. Or, horribly, people in other States!
And then they go waving a flag that has stars all crammed together; this must be exhausting physically and mentally.
Those stars are'nt REALLY United are they?
Bunch o fckn hypocrites and they can't see it.
We have done an absolutely pitiful job with this virus.
Zero Fed leadership.
Now just wait till the Health Care bills start rolling in from hospitals.
