New York City’s effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus through contact tracing has been hampered by the reluctance of some people with the virus to provide information to tracers.

The New York Times reports that only 35 percent of the 5,347 city residents who tested positive or were presumed positive for COVID-19 in the first two weeks of the contact tracing program gave information about their close contacts.

It doesn't help when the mode of contact transmission most likely to sicken people cannot be asked about by the tracers:  "Did you participate in any protests?" cannot be asked.  It's like refusing to test patients being admitted to Nursing Homes for COVID-19.  Same mentality, showing they didn't learn a GD thing from Cuomo's Fiasco.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.
