The information includes details on where transmission is happening most. If more states shared this widely, it could shape policy and save lives, health researchers say.

Eight states reported that their contact tracing staff numbers were publicly available.The data states are gathering includes how many contacts are reached and how quickly and where people were exposed — whether it was out in public or at home.

Pssst: contact tracing doesn’t work and is a glorious waste of money.

Hahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahaha

Come on Marylanders. Don't be selfish. Keep us all healthy by sharing your contacts. It's all confidential. There is no shame. Same to you NJ peeps...

it's funny how people will turn over their entire lives companies like Facebook and Twitter and Google but not participate in simple contact tracing

Good. People are wising up to this authoritarian BS.
