FYI: even with mild #covid people still have to stay home from work/school! This is why schools are closing & businesses scaling back- WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE RESOURCES! Even with #mitigation/#vaccination mass infection isn’t the answer- we want lower RATES of infection
The calls for uncoupling infections & hospitalizations are necessary as we will be living with #COVID19 forever- BUT RIGHT NOW THERE IS A LOT OF CIRCULATING #VIRUS! To address THIS issue we need everyone to use all mitigation measures: #masking, #testing, #stayhome if sick.
Reading piece after piece about why we can’t close schools & how we want no #masks are premature! No one wants to shut it down. But we need tools AT SCALE. That means counties & states need massive influx of #masks & #tests& people to administer tests, #contacttracers too
A thread on #ContactTracing for #COVID19. APHA @PublicHealth says 100,000 more contact tracers needed across U.S. for state and local health departments to stop the spread. 1/n #COVIDResponseCorps thenationshealth.aphapublications.org/content/50/5/1…
2. @DrTomFrieden's crucial indicators for #COVID19 control:

3. #ContactTracing in #MA significantly downscaled. Multi-million dollar effort with @PIH now has ~700 staffers, down from 1,900. Complaints: computer glitches, inadequate training, poor communication. Some towns focusing on their own, in-house efforts. bostonglobe.com/2020/07/08/met…
A thread on #ContactTracing for #COVID19. It's a race, but few states say how fast they’re running. @CDCgov guidance includes metrics - none of which are being publicly reported by most states. [A timely, comprehensive review.] 1/n washingtonpost.com/local/contact-…
2. @HarvardGH and @Harvard Safra Center's Metrics for #COVID19 Suppression include Key Performance Indicators for #ContactTracing as a framework for policy makers and the public globalepidemics.org/wp-content/upl…
3. States using different metrics for #COVID19 #ContactTracing. @NYCHealthSystem data: June 1-27: 10,066 cases, 5,285 completed interview (52.5%); 9,199 contacts named, 4,293 completed interview (46.6%) nychealthandhospitals.org/test-and-trace…
Update on #ContactTracing for #COVID19 - a thread. Early signs of success from SF Bay Area. Many local counties are approaching goal of contacting 90% of the region’s positive cases, even as coronavirus cases spike across the state. @mikereidmd @SF_DPH sfchronicle.com/health/article…
2. San Francisco @SF_DPH data:
• % of Cases Reached for #ContactTracing over Prior Two Weeks – currently 82%, target 90+%
• % of Named Contacts Reached for Contact Tracing over the Prior Two Weeks – currently 85%, target 90+%

3. OTOH, lack of transparency makes #ContactTracing success hard to measure. Impossible to know whether Bay Area’s two largest counties have been successful because their health officials refuse to reveal how many people they do reach, and how quickly. mercurynews.com/2020/06/29/is-…
1) A thread on #ContactTracing. Yes, it's here. We are watching the #NWO #Agenda21 script play out right in front of our eyes. First we'll show what this is, then I'll share an Anon's opinion of what is really going on. No fear.... 
2) First, THOUSANDS of #ContactTracers are being hired all over the country. The evidence of this is clear. cbsnews.com/news/contact-t…
3) Now, who would be attracted to such an invasive job? How EXCITED your neighbor might be to be able to decide the future of your kids and other family members through #ContactTracing! 🙄 Controlling flags, grass length and noisy dogs is just not enough!

Contact tracers are disease detectives. Their job is to track down everybody an infected person might've come into contact with so they can be isolated and stop #coronavirus spreading further. #abc730 @Chris_Gillett_ #COVID19Aus #ContactTracers
“We feel like we are preparing for battle. How do you track a virus you can’t see?” Dr Annaliese van Dieman, contact tracer. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia #COVID19Aus
“It is a significant piece of detective work to ascertain all of those places to find out where the patient might have acquired the illness, but also who they might have exposed or given the illness to.” Dr Annaliese van Dieman, contact tracer. #abc730 #coronavirusaus #COVID19Aus
