(contact tracers)

Prologue

"You might have heard about ‘contact tracing'
which, when combined with social distancing
has proven a powerful asset in controlling
the spread of COVID-19."
"In short, it means assigning a "contact tracer"
to interview each person with a confirmed
case of COVID-19. The contact tracer
through painstaking and quick
detective work, finds out who
else might have already acquired
the virus from the infectious person
or been exposed."
""Close contacts" of a person who might
have COVID-19 can then be isolated (if sick)
or quarantined (if well)to lessen further spread
of the virus. The contact tracer will be especially
interested in any contact who may be in a
higher-risk group, such as older or
immuno-compromised people."
"This technique has also been used to better
understand and limit the spread of HIV, meningitis
and other diseases. It is a powerful tool discovered
almost a century ago to limit the spread of sexually
transmitted infections from and to American troops."
(Close contacts)
"The COVID-19 virus is located in the respiratory
tract and is spread when someone coughs or
sneezes, dispersing infected droplets like
a scatter gun."
"One sneeze or
cough can spread
infected droplets everywhere
even onto surfaces that people
may touch later.
(Michael Bret Hart Author provided)
Several people can be infected from
one COVID-19 positive person, eve
by later entering a room and
touching contaminated
objects."
"So, contact tracing under these circumstances
is challenging. The droplet spreader will have to
recall his or her movements carefully. The
contact tracer will be especially interested to
know: who has this confirmed case met or talked
with recently? Was it inside or outside? who have
they sat near, for example in a lecture hall or
other enclosed space? Have they been to a big
event like a footy match? Queensland
Health succinctly summarizes the
procedure, in accordance with
the Communicable Disease
Network Australia guidelines
saying: Close contacts are
those who have had face-to-face
contact with a confirmed case for a
period more than 15 minutes, or those
who have shared an enclosed space with
a confirmed case for more than two hours."
"We are not looking for people the person may
have passed on the street or in a shop as the
risk in these situations is extremely low."
"If you have been in close contact with
someone who has a confirmed case
of novel coronavirus you need to
self-quarantine for 14 days from
your last contact with them. If you
become unwell during that period
see a doctor immediately."
"It needs to be done right
If the contact tracing process was
applied to every COVID-19 case, it would
help reduce (but not completely stop)the
spread of the coronavirus. It's important to
remember that possibly less than half of all
infected people are symptomatic. Contact
tracing could help find those people and
ask them to self-isolate."
"It's also important to ensure we have
enough testing kits to keep up. Our testing
rate is currently one of the highest in
the world and ensuring a steady
supply of testing kits is crucial
as the virus spreads."
"In the real world
however, the effectiveness
of contact tracing depends on
the skills, extent, and capacity of
the contact tracing workforce
as well as compliance with
the contact tracers' advice.
Wuhan, with a population
about half that of Australia
had more than 1800 teams
of epidemiologists, with a
minimum of five people per team
who traced tens of thousands of
contacts a day. Previous reviews
of health workforce capacity suggest
that Australia is not so well resourced
which is why the
Australian Defense Force
is helping here."
"Contact tracing and
isolation are our two most
important assets in the effort
to limit the spread of corona-virus
so, we need to ensure contact
tracing teams are well
resourced."

300,000
INDIVIDUALS
and necessary
"data collectors"
are immediately
NEEDED.
Some employment
opportunity of the neo
caste of americant sepoy!
IMMEDIATELY
necessary to identify by physical
contact, interview, and confirm status
within americant households those who
carry the BEER VIRUS! Covid 19.
Who will pay? The carriers of the virus!
Simply because these individual were tax
payers during the last yearly tax cycle! Right on!
Lucky, these people! At least these people, are
continuing to BREATHE… BARELY! Phuuck this
issue! Are we, as a nation; ever in deep
kimchee! I can SMELL THE crowds now!
millions of infected carriers just
sitting at home waiting to be
deemed INFECTIOUS! Nexus?
Wall off the Great State of Texas
using what? Fiat dollars? Phat Bras?
Santa's drawers? Scrap the Navy's
Aircraft carriers? At this point
these ships are in need of a
competent PURGING cleansing!
That is how this thingy works?
Death by burning! Are you learning
anything about the ways these things
must roll? Intense FIRES and flames that
burn anything and turn anything into nothing!
No joking folks… THIS IS THE ISSUE! This bugger
cannot be killed and nothing can be done
to kill it! Feel me? See me? Touch me?
"The WHO" … FROM the rock opera
"Tommy" or "Johnny, better get
a bigger gun… no… a flame thrower!
It all does so burn down to this!
Should you become infected, and do not
expire; your blood VALUE will be your value!
And the government will confiscate that
value without COMPENSATION… all across
this nation… individual values will be
what these will be… depending upon
your bloods load of Covid 19 antibodies
this is what Donald J. Trump has brought
into your homes, TO your families, and
sat that right straight down on your
dining room tables! The Question
is: What source above that meat
puppet required him to do so?
All of the details of just how this
mess became such the mess will come
into the public's bleeding eyes, and then
what comes next will be up to that public!
So americants: EACH JOHN Q and Jane Q
had better become well informed on
