No, he’s still useful. I automatically know the truth is the opposite of whatever he bleats. Saves me a ton of research time!

Well, I think that’s pretty much they plan, but The Don keeps on outplaying them.

States are paying for hundreds to thousands of people to do contact tracing. It seems that money is just monopoly money anymore, at least from the government.

When you trash credibility with hyperbolic predictions and frequent shifts of direction, well, things like this happen.

That could explain the President ‘s low poll numbers against his muttering basement dweller of an opponent.

Too bad. This sad result is the direct fault of the government. They COULD have acted to eliminate bothersome telemarketing scam calls, but they decided to acquiesce to telcos who lobbied it would be hard. The result is every unknown call is suspected to be a scam/telemarketer/bothersome, so people ignore them. TFBMF

What’s wrong with leaving a message? I never answer the phone for an unknown number. And if the caller doesn’t leave a voicemail than I block the number. Fauci is kind of a whiney little crap weasel.

Turn off your phone Bluetooth. The tracer uses Bluetooth.

Your phone number is attached to you not your location.

He should remember from his days working with HIV. Contract tracing of HIV was prohibited in many locations because it was considered discriminatory.

In Today’s world what Idiot would tell a stranger anything sensitive.

It goes on your permanent marketing record, so to speak. Nothing is ever lost.

Back when Reagan was President, in the early 80's, I made a modest donation. I received an acknowledgement with an unusual mis-spelling of my name. For the next 20 years I'd receive various political beg letters under that same mis-spelling. Eventually they died out.

I think your polling answers, any "anonymized" info about your age, income, and marital status, family, etc, get logged and shared.

Call me paranoid if you must. I think I'm realistic.

You're thinking of this all wrong. As if I had the virus back in a safe. The virus's not here. The virus is in Joe... right next to your. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others.
