Public health experts worry that contact tracing and other tactics to control the spread of the coronavirus will be undermined by rising mistrust in government in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

Health experts need newly infected people to remember and recount everyone they’ve interacted with over several days in order to alert others who may have been exposed, and prevent them from spreading the disease further. But that process, known as contact tracing, relies on people knowing who they’ve been in contact with — a daunting task if they’ve been to a mass gathering.And the process relies on something that may be suddenly be in especially short supply: Trust in government.

Government officials have been hoping to continue reopening businesses, churches and other organizations after months of stay-at-home orders and other infection-prevention measures. But health experts also hoped that any reopening would be accompanied by widespread testing, contact tracing and isolation to prevent new waves of illness from beginning.

That picture for this tweet is very suggestive.

Why would we trust the Federal government after they downplayed this for months? Then governors manipulated test results. We have people who have no idea how to govern and a lot of big reporters who do not care to report on details. It's all about 24-hour newscycle PR bllshit.

Well, let's see... there are businesses refusing to allow people wearing masks inside. There are armed thugs refusing to allow states to shut down or push social distancing rules. The GOP has resisted pushing safety standards and adequate help. What difference does it make?

These liberal news stations want Americans to believe that’s these riots are all the republicans fault. Honestly it’s the weak leadership of them.

The govt just tried to control us that was a test and it failed

Contact tracing is impossibly absurd and inaccurate with the coronavirus bc of the 2 week asymptotic delay of showing signs of sickness!!! Utter nonsense

Stfu

Killing people because of the skin color is obscene. I'm white, I produce less melanin, that's the problem with different colors. RESPECT

Wow who gives a sht

Mistrust in the Government to protect the livelihood of Americans? Yes, that's what the 2ndAmendment is for. I have a feeling a lot of people have changed their opinion on 2ndAmendment over these past few days.

The country is officially open. If you can protest you open your business.

Na I didn't ever trust that shit.

I distrusted the government's handling of Covid-19 once the '2 weeks to slow the spread', was extended for the 1st time.... the contract tracing is just another infringement on the Freedoms we are supposed to enjoy as Americans and not at all necessary.

Right. That’s they should worry about. Not people being beat for trying to protect their property from rioters.

Lol - as if

Every time you see a video or picture of people being brutally beaten or killed in these riots. Remember these celebrities encourage violence by offering to pay $millions to anyone arrested. SteveCarell JanelleMonae CynthiaNixon Sethrogen jtimberlake chrissyteigen

Were they even doing that in the first place? I've heard nothing about contact tracing. Minor news about testing.

AP shouldn’t ignore the past 40 years. Mistrust of government has been going since Ronald Reagan planted that seed. The Reagan Revolution set the path to get rid of a functioning government. Trump is the upshot of the Revolution.

StephenGutowski Jeebus. In case anyone hasn't figured it out by now, if you live in the inner city of any metro victimized by rioting and 'protests', contact tracing is essentially impossible. If you live in a rural or suburban area, it *might* have some utility, but will be limited.

Ha... now there’s an understatement... “officials worry that the demonstrations will undermine contact tracing”

The rise of distrust started with 45. He disgracefully distrusts all arms of our government. He doesn’t believe in the science or the strategy .. y’all got a tall hill to climb.,

Mistrust of the media.

“The rising mistrust in government”.... that has been rising for generations it ain’t nothing new!

so it is the mistrust, not the massive gathering, protesting, looting and rioting. Got it.

I became a victim for more than 50,000 Americans in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body. Plz stop abuse. It's going on.

Es gäbe auch 'Radar' für die 'Parkhilfe' von PKWS - eine Software die schnell umgeschrieben wäre, und bei weitem 'Zweck-dienlicher': 'peep' - 'Please keep distance' - 'peep' - 'Please keep distance' - 'peep' -...

Lockdowns will never happen again. Riots cured COVID-19

YA THINK?

Covid 19 is over

you got everything all wrong....FakeNewsMedia this antifa destruction of our country is caused by leftists

No shit Sherlock

The riots are cool tho.

I mean, it will. Maybe they shouldn't have perverted that trust further by jumping to curfews and contact tracing protestors 😤 but they never cared if we survived anyway

Those people r not as smart as they think they r then.

It’s not government we mistrust —it’s Donald Trump, President of the Un-United States of America hiding in his underground bunker in the White House; dictators hide from the people when they have screwed them (literally and figuratively) over and over time and again —OR resign!

Racism Is Terrorism. Anonymous GeorgeFloyd GeorgeFloydProtests

Oh! I thought this was between the people and police not necessarily government.

No matter what your race, color, or religion. If you believe you want justice then you have to stop your retail consumption. This will make change happen real fast, when corporations stop making money. It is the corporations that make changes in government decisions.

I see no mention of the protests and riots contributing to the spread of the disease.

You do not need all the people to in the program to make things work.

Jesus, folks, breathe.

Yeah, a logical conclusion. The only way this can change is the eradication of Trump and his version of the government which is not in accordance with the Constitution.

Guess we gonna learn if it’s as bad as it’s hyped..... cause if we don’t have a boat load of new cases something is def up!

They did a pretty good job of undermining public trust when they told them the virus was nothing to worry about, that it wouldn’t be an issue in America, that it wasn’t spread person to person, and that masks were bad.

Didn’t this occur to anyone when the FBI was busy framing people and assisting in a de facto administrative coup?

Well that and all the violence before anf since.

Ha! Those contact tracers would never be welcome in my house. Though I think that’s pretty much over. How are they gonna contact trace the entire mass of protestors and rioters? Had to be a couple of cases there, right? Or are those measures just for us law abiding folk.

Ya only worked that out now! 🤦🏽

When you gonna report the Hate crime by some African Americans to this poor white lady?

Man sounds like a President would really come in handy at a time like this

Why did they take their kid? I would if there wasn't violence. But there's been days of violence.

I was skeptical b4
