On Friday, Republican Texas state Senator Bob Hall sent a letter asking Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop the state's"technically wrong, financially wrong, and morally wrong" contact tracing program. The program, Texas Health Trace, is meant to quickly identify, quarantine and educate individuals who may have contracted COVID-19.
In his letter, Hall wrote that fear had caused federal, state and local governments to"overreact" to the coronavirus epidemic and also scared consumers and companies into harming the economy. "We should have been in the loop and we should have known. We should have been able to ask questions," the state's Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said on Thursday about MTX Group's approved contract.
Hall also questioned MTX Group's ability to manage a nearly $300 million contract that involves rapidly recruiting, training, mobilizing and managing over 4,000 tracers, especially after the company recently went 123 percent over budget to handle licensing and regulatory processing for Kentucky's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Is it 'morally wrong' to want to save lives?
How is it immoral to let people know they were in contact with an infected person? That’s how we stop the Zombie apocalypse
Wonder if he’s ok with tracing contacts for venereal disease?
The state senator is no doubt another covidiot.
Sounds like there's another stupid conservative in Texas Do these people believe the earth is flat too

Texas sheriff: George Floyd's death moment for us 'to see how we can do better'Sheriff of Harris County, Texas, Ed Gonzalez, says 'communities of color are tired of hearing us just speak about change and not delivering on a consistent basis .... It's a moment for us to pause, to reflect, to see how we can do better.' No, no more reflecting. Action, hard stance, policy changes, active training on dealing with the public under stressful situations, emotional training, and psychological evaluations of officers who have shown aggression to the community. This is nonsense. Get the klan off the police force!! EVERYWHERE!! You all know who they are and the Blue Line protects them!! If you want to earn someone's trust, show them, don't tell them.
