Also they completely stopped contact tracing in King County on March 5 because there were too many cases? Did they just go home or what?

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/washington-has-1371-trained-officials-ready-to-begin-contact-tracing-on-the-coronavirus-inslee-says/

Both in the King Co. situation and in the newly announced 1371 statewide contact tracers, those aren't new hires hired to be working this specific task.  They're existing government employees given this task as a job duty temporarily.  My guess in that prior King Co. situation is that the work was too overwhelming for the few who'd been given that temporary task and someone determined the better use of their time was to do their primary job rather than flail at the temporary one.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense

I don't know why governments aren't temp hiring on new civilian workers for this task out of the thousands of unemployed (some temporary too!) people out there.  There are people who have been laid off from their jobs that have a lot of the skill sets already for this work.

Yeah it seems like a very easy job to plug people into remotely.  It's basically just talking to the sick person and who they contacted and calling them.  I'm sure there are some HIPAA impacts, etc. but those are pretty easy for almost everybody to follow as long as they know what to say and not say.  For example you don't tell the person you are contacting who they may have gotten it from.

Honestly I don't know why we don't teach individuals how to do this themselves.  Give them a checklist to go through if they are positive.  If you are doing the basic guidelines of not going out much it's probably like 3-5 contacts.  Maybe the grocery store giving them a heads up regarding the cashier you used?  They seems pretty well protected now at our stores though.

It's almost like we need some small technological device (small enough to fit in someones pocket) that could track someones location and chart that data autonomosuly.

what if...

Nice to have, but we shouldn't wait around for it. If it's an opt-in system, it won't even be that effective. (better than nothing though)

Barry Obama didn't build that giant ass NSA data mining center out there in Mormon land for nothing, folks.

Then again, the DOD pretty much lives in Bezo's Cloud now.

Yeah things are actually considerably better than they've been in a while.  It's a shame the public really doesn't seem to be aware of that.

Gov is already tracking all of us and has been. 

Does Patriot allow for compulsory traking measures?

Could be a double benefit.

1. We have said that this is a war against the disease use war power to track. (Short Term)
2. Wake people up to the provisions of Patriot Act and vote it out. (Long Term)

there's a good portion of the public that doesn't think there was ever a problem to begin with. I'm sure in New York they know it's getting better but in places like California the gains have been non-existent to negligible so it isn't a huge story.

Yeah, just seemed like we heard more about the aggregate when the aggregate was on the way up.

I kind of wonder if maybe the more humid air improves lung function enough to reduce the mortality rate.

How do I do those graphs for deaths? For some reason deaths seems like better data than cases. I like that you used rolling 1/wk averages. Much less noisy than daily.

you can play with the dropdowns here: http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=states-normalized&highlight=California&show=highlight-only&trendline=default&y=fixed&scale=log&data=deaths-daily-7&extra=New%20York,Washington,Texas,New%20Jersey#states-normalized

It's pretty easy to use.

Your guy went to the WH riding a promise to reverse those abuses, he did the exact opposite. 

He also talked about negotiating with the Axis of Evil, he cucked to one, did nothing to another while they built Nukes and ICBM's and overthrew or tried to overthrow the govt's of the others.
