Absurd: NYC Contact Tracers Not Permitted to Ask Sick Patients if They Attended a George Floyd Protest

The supposed army of 1,000+ pandemic contact tracers in New York City will hit a roadblock this week as they assess the risk of disease spread from COVID-19 positive patients. Mayor Bill de Blasio has forbidden the tracers from asking sick patients if they attended one of the many George Floyd related protests in the nation's most populous city, giving the tracers an insurmountable barrier as they ostensibly keep New Yorkers safer.

"No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest,” de Blasio spokesperson Avery Cohen told The City. Surveyors recruited as part of de Blasio's "test and trace" campaign will instead ask a series of indirect questions about whom the sick individual may have contacted in recent days.

Odd. They aren't allowed to ask me anything. Besides which, the cellphone records will show time and place they were.

Another useless government program!

That will eventually become organized and become a thorn in free people’s lives.

That’s because it’s about politics Not health.

There are some county health departmentse in NYS that are obfuscating info on cases likely acquired while at protests.

the extreme leftist commie/nazi moles in our government are trying to prolong their illegal Lockdown of our country and citizens, and to murder as many Americans as they can, in order to create as much distress and dissatisfaction as they possibly can

they mis-think that unhappy people will Vote for Biden, which is absurd on its face but they really appear to be that insane

This is how AIDS spread. Government prohibited health care providers from inquiring who they had been with.

NO, but they will ask if they went to a Trump rally. The disease was politicized within 1 minute of its appearance.

Meanwhile contract tracers wanted everyone who goes to a church to report it to the government.

Where’s the leadership when we need it? It’s not the job of the President to take over the States. It’s the people’s job to remove the idiots they voted in, and start anew with leadership educated to our Constitution, and their State’s charter as members of the of the United States, and with the guts, and common sense necessary to rein in all these morons trying to destroy our homeland.

I could go on a rant, but.................................

Oh the Virus is real, 120,000 dead Americans wish they could tell you that.

But the virus has been hijacked as a political tool.

Probably by design.

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!

Of course they aren’t allowed to blame their COVID exposure on attendance at unlawful riots and looting sessions, because DumblASSio LOVES his thugs and illegals and actively supports their destruction of the city he’s sworn to protect. Right now, he is at home with some kind of stomach illness. I hope it’s polonium “infection”.
