. . .After Implementing the “Massachusetts Model” Monday, May 18, 2020 - Governor, Office of the Chicago - Building on a robust, statewide effort to ensure Illinois can safely reopen, Governor Pritzker announced the Illinois Contact Tracing Collaborative, a locally-driven approach to scale up contact tracing in Illinois.
"With Illinois' daily availability of testing among the best in the nation, we want to grow our voluntary contact tracing so we can further control and reduce the rate of spread of COVID-19 and stop outbreaks in their tracks," said Governor JB Pritzker.
The state is immediately engaging two local health departments to pilot this initiative: St. Clair County in the Metro East region and Lake County in the Northeast region. These health departments were chosen for having significant needs in terms of case numbers in vulnerable populations, a robust capacity for tracing, and great existing collaborations of public health personnel, medical students and volunteers already on the ground.
Additionally, IDPH sent assessments to the state's 97 local health departments with half already sending back their initial assessments regarding their ability to expand and deploy their contact tracing capabilities. Beginning today, IDPH will be sending out asks for workplans and budgets from all of these departments - allowing Illinois to incorporate their plans into the state's overall plans and bringing them online in the coming weeks.
In every region and across the state, the curriculum, software, and technology will be IDPH-driven, and IDPH will support the funding for new hires at local health departments where needed through federal CARES money and Disaster Relief Act funding.
. . . This personal contact management software will allow all local health departments to work on one platform, and allow IDPH to operate with an aggregated, real-time sense of where COVID-19 is in Illinois. . ."

“You too, can be a collaborator.”
That’s what it’s all about....being a collaborator...but don’t worry, Illinois, you can afford this-—you’ve got great politicians who wouldn’t involve you in anything that wasn’t absolutely necessary and for your own good. Both my sisters still live in Chicagoland , and my mother did until she died a week ago in a nursing home NONE of her children could even visit her in personally for the last 2+ months , even my sisters, who lived there> She wanted to be cremated, but we were offered also a “kind of” service where all attendees would have to sit 6 feet apart , wearing masks. We
all said no.
Absolutely.
WHO is expected to pay for this? A part of the stimulus package? Certainly it’s gotta come out of something Illinois has received or expects to receive.
How very Stasi.
Fight back.
Chelsea Clinton is on the board of the tracing company
“ In every region and across the state, the curriculum, software, and technology will be IDPH-driven, and IDPH will support the funding for new hires at local health departments where needed through federal CARES money and Disaster Relief Act funding.”
Just a long-winded way of saying to Aldermen and other Dim politicos, “Hey, here’s some walking-around money for you and your layabout relatives”
FUJB.
I will not comply.

Yes of course. I will collaborate. My name is Mick. Mick Mouse. Please write that down on your collaborator list. I live in Disney World.
“Fight back.”
That is the problem with Illinois. Chicago is crazy liberal and the rest of the state is far away from Chicago. The citizens of this state are not fighting back hard enough. A lot of them want to cower in fear. I have 2 sisters who live there and they said the millennials are the worst of all- scared to death they will all die.
Prickster Sucks
Mm-hmm. Follow the money.
I wonder if he will contact Angela Merkle to find some retired Stasi personnel that he can hire to run this ‘turn in your neighbor’ program?
