Mayor de Blasio has expressed concern that the George Floyd protests could boost the coronavirus pandemic just as New Yorkers have finally gained the upper hand — but City Hall doesn’t seem too interested in finding out for sure. Workers for the city’s contact tracing program are told not to ask those who’ve tested positive for the bug whether they’ve taken part in the demonstrations, instead relying on them to cough up the information themselves, officials said. “We’re doing everything we can to keep New Yorkers safe while respecting individual privacy,” said de Blasio spokeswoman Avery Cohen. “Over the course of their interview with a tracer, a person may be asked if they were in a large crowd or event in recent weeks, with full confidence that any information they share will be protected under the fullest extent of the law.” While there is no specific directive barring tracers from asking about protest participation, Cohen separately told The City, which first reported the indirect approach, that people won’t be asked. So far, the city has not seen a significant spike since the protests, as some had feared, which experts have attributed to a high percentage of mask usage among participants and the open air. But both City Councilmembers and health professionals said that the question should still be asked.

then the contact tracers aren’t tracing contact
apparently only protesters’ privacy is “protected”, everyone else not so much because protester pigs are more equal than other pigs ...
The government wants to disarm us after 243 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
good point...so...exactly what are they tracing and why? Pardon, that’s a rhetorical question.
It's not about the virus, it's all about the attempted coup.Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.
It would be a waste of time, anyway.
Even if they did ask, and the answer was ‘yes’ I went, there’s no way you could trace the many people who also attended...............
Thanks for the ping Nully. Agenda is their middle name. Don’t even try to apply logical, rational, thought, it will just make you nauseous and dizzy.
cuomo threatening to shut down NYC again because’ 25,000 complaints about social distancing violations’
people of NYC- tell cuomo “You arrest every rioter not obeying your social distancing rules, keep them in jail- don’t let them go like you’ve been doing- then maybe we’ll talk- won’t do any good,. but maybe we’ll talk’
If I can riot, why can’t I go to church.
If I can loot, why can’t I shop?
THANK GOD!
I was afraid I was coming down with something!
What happens if you haven’t been to a protest, but you refuse do disclose contacts?
It's not about the virus, it's all about the attempted coup.
If I can throw Molotov Cocktails why can’t I throw a party?...................
Just say, gosh the only time I've been out of the house in the last two months was to go to that protest! I went alone, and I left as soon as it started to get out of hand...
Just because they can't ask, doesn't mean you can't tell.
Excellent!
There is so much BS going on in New York and NYC. deBlasio and Cuomo are using the virus to kill off as many minorities and elderly as they can get away with. deBlasio is such a fraud.
“Don’t blame the victims!”
from the same people who HOPED that those who went to church would catch it and “die”.
