COVID-19 cases are rising so fast that they're outpacing local health departments' capabilities for contact-tracing. Some departments are now asking people who test positive to do their own contact tracing.

wcpublichealth Cuz I’ve got it in me to figure it out and make calls when I’m laid flat by Covid? This is crazy. (See where the no-tax-for-any-reason crowd has gotten us to? 😡)

My county was already overwhelmed in the beginning of November and asking people to do their own contact tracing.

Over 19 million have tested positive so far; some won't survive, some will survive, some will test positive but are asymptomatic; over19 million people! the numbers & the results, what does it all mean?

Nonsense. Do your own made up job, don't try to get others to do it for you. If you want to fearmonger, you have to be willing to put in the work. Lazy panic generation is pathetic.

Definitely tempting to just give up. This was all so fulfilling at the beginning of my assignment (back in July) now I'm just exhausted. Every call is 'we had a family bbq because we thought gathering outdoors was safe' I can't keep up.

'Cases' means some genetic material or antibodies were found. Not that someone is sick or has a contagion. This is nonsense..

Yeah so overwhelmed they can post synchronized dance videos where they wear Angel wings. should get zero taxpayer money.

this isn’t a new development. in most parts of the US, contact tracing has never been that robust or effective to begin with

Hope they are selective on who they trust to carry that out on their own

Did you copy and paste this headline. Covid has been out of control since April last year. Spend your time on why it's happening and come up with a better headline.

Pcr tests are a joke. Dig into that on your next story.

We knew we had to open our economy again so what have hospitals been doing all this time to handle to influx of patients when we opened again !?

Trump has blood on his hands, all this misery and deaths could have been avoided if he told the truth in February about what he knew, he is complicit and guilty of negligent manslaughter. Tens of thousands of lives could have been avoided if he implemented masks and distancing!!

Big pile of BS💩

This is an airborne virus, spreading in dry indoor air. 1. N95/KF94. Get 1. Office Depot has them. 2. Crack 🪟 3. Merv13 4. Humidifier Sources in my RTs

They are doing that in Milwaukee. At one of my workplaces there was an outbreak of 6 positive cases. I was already aware of it from day one of positive tests, but the health department letter arrived 2 days before my quarantine was over. What good does that do?

Why doesn't npr disclose that they receive funding from the Gates Foundation when reporting on vaccines? delbigtree HighWireTalk RobertKennedyJr ChildrensHD BusyDrT Don't they have an obligation of transparency? SenTedCruz RandPaul tedcruz Perpetualmaniac

This is happening in Ohio. My daughter had to quarantine twice due to contact with positive person. First time Ohio Department of Health reached out and texted us daily for symptoms Second time never heard from anyone.

My ex husband who I share kids with tested positive and he didn't hear anything from tracers, neither did I.

More panic porn to keep the sheep in line.

How many are actually the flu it’s that time of the year?

Since so many people seem to think that their “privacy” is more important than not putting lives at risk, do it yourself won’t work. I can’t believe people from “my party” are so ignorant.

Social distancing, mandated masquerades, strict, rolling lockdowns...yet here we are! We know, we know! It is the people’s fault again, of course! It is never the ‘experts’ - they are impeccable with their modeling!

This is what I was told, they just don't have the staff or resources... I was pretty shocked by it

Fear mongers

But hey, there’s a sale at Target!

And yet, 99.9999999% of people are gonna survive

95% only bad news(

oh so masks don't work...
