"That contact tracing is a beast," she tells Steve Inskeep on"And in order to manage that and have the people to do it is really hard. And then on the other end of that, you're making calls to families that don't know if it's legit and don't really want to sometimes participate."
McCormick talked with NPR about challenges Indiana is facing as it brings students back to classrooms. Here are excerpts: Is [opposition to contact tracing] part of the political resistance that we've seen to the basic public health advice here? You call up some people and they say,"I'm not going to participate because this is all bogus. This is all some kind of conspiracy."
Some of that happens, yes. Other [times] when you call a parent and say,"Is your child Susie and her birthday is X, Y, Z?" sometimes you hear a click on the other end of that because you really get into personal information that someone really doesn't know who you are on the other end of that phone. And I don't blame parents. I'm a mother.
And then, yes, we're in Indiana and we still have pockets of Indiana that think [the coronavirus epidemic is] fake and they're not going to wear a mask and they're not going to participate and how dare you call them. So we have all of that happening in Indiana.We're trying to open safely, but we're also trying to, for the most part, offer the dual platforms, whether it's remote or on site. And so that gets very expensive. Schools have added additional staffing.
As President Trump said, “In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families.”
”we still have pockets of Indiana that think [the coronavirus epidemic is] fake and they're not going to wear a mask and they're not going to participate and how dare you call them.” Wow, so many people are dumb.
Home of the kinda brave, land of the distrusting.
I know.. That Constitution thing.. So pesky and in the way of your dictatorship.
Bullshit
