We’re about to find out just how much authoritarianism can be imposed under the guise of a “public health emergency”. Job postings are popping up across the country for “contact tracers”: their mission? To discover who is COVID-19 positive, isolate them, forcibly if need be, and then ‘trace’ all the people that this person has been in contact with. This has to be the very definition of a Sisyphean task. These “tracers” are going to make a list of hundreds of individuals to locate, each of whom will produce another list of hundreds to trace, and so on? Insanity. We’ll have reached natural herd immunity long before the COVID Stasi even begin to trace COVID origins.
Imagine the abuse and invasion of privacy that will occur during the occupation by this domestic medical army. They won’t come close to their goal of tracing COVID, but they will ruin plenty of lives in the process.
