American Stasi: California Building 10,000 Person Army Of Professional Snitches
Posted By: Victoria Colliver via Politico April 30, 2020
California will lead the nation in creating an army of Big-Brother snitches to rat out personal health statuses. Hiring will be no problem since unemployment is rampant among many groups, including the homeless and illegal immigrants. What could go wrong?
This program risks the formal establishment of an American Stasi counterpart to the East German Stasi in East Germany during the Cold War after WWII. These were called “informants†but the people that they “spotted†were often targeted for death or labor camps. ⃠TN Editor
California’s plans to build an army of 10,000 people that can trace the trail of the coronavirus exposure could serve as a template for the nation and create a whole new sector of public health workers.

Ummmmm ... contact tracing has been the standard practice for more decades than I've been alive when someone is diagnosed with an STD. The purpose is to prevent spread of the disease. But now that it might be done to fight a large-scale epidemic it's Stalinist-Hitlerian? *****rollingeyes***** *****rollingeyes***** *****rollingeyes***** *****rollingeyes***** *****rollingeyes*****

I realize that California-Bashing is like a political sacrament for some conservatives, but if anyone thinks California is unique in doing contact-tracing, they haven't been paying attention, https://abcnews.go.com/US/states-race-start-coronavirus-contact-tracing-monumental-task/story?id=70285156 .
