Sandra Melman asks the sick person on the other end of the phone to grab a calendar. She wants to know everything the person did and everyone the person spent time with during the 48 hours before symptoms of the new coronavirus began to appear.
“We want to try and figure out how you got the disease and who could have been exposed to you, so we can help stop it from spreading,” said Ms. Melman, an epidemiologist for the New Mexico Department of Health, about what she typically tells the people she calls.
Please share- We can help! ContactTracing is another word for SkipTracing - this 7min Finovate video shows why our masterQueue SaaS Tracing platform that can help States with setting up their Contact Tracing Programs and why they need FinTech :
There's never going to be enough tests. Ever. The government won't tell you this, but please..stop and think about it in the face of mandating multiple tests for 320+million people.
Great to see this happening. We all want it to be over as soon as possible but not without caution, care and understanding. The latter is so important as I appeal to common decency and care for your fellow man. Acting hastily and emotionally will delay our economic recovery.
contract tracing in a country of 350m is a waste of time. Millions are asymptomatic positives likely which will drive the CFR down to possibly less than flu. Move on.
Contact tracing is easier said than done with COVID19. Unlike sexually transmitted disease, where one need remember who they were intimate with, it requires the infected to remember who they came in contact with in a bus, subway, etc. Supports the need for face masks for all.
Trump's idiotic dithering meant the USA action is now too little too late. Germany went all in on testing and tracing 6 weeks ago, which is why they were able to minimize cases and deaths.
The most effective would be to go after 'hook-up' apps, such as GRINDER!!! MrTrump please see to THAT. You WILL have Stellar Results, trust me....
