I find that hilarious and 100% oxymoronic. There you go again...putting words in my mouth. Where did I say “lock people up”? Please quote.

I would assume in this instance the subpoena would be to obtain the data related to one's mobile device, which more than likely has a history of where someone has been...pings off cellular towers, etc. as that is the only true way to contact trace... Most people are not going to remember where they were at 2:45 last Thursday or whatnot. The ability to create after the fact a "diary" of where one has been when and where based on memory will certainly not be very reliable. Now whether a judge would grant it for contact tracing for random Joe would probably be tough. Now someone that is known to have it and flagrantly disregarded the protocol and went on vacation, flew in an airplane, and posted all their adventures while known to have it may be a justified subpoena.

Like when they announced the screening questions. People weren't shy about saying we can just lie. it's why the temp checks can't easily fake a temp. A phone ping will be undeniable versus what a person could say. And that needs a subpoena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If I'm exposed to the virus, isolating myself for 14 days or until I can get a test is a small price to pay to not spread the virus further.

Android phones with Google Maps store your location history for future reference if this feature is enabled, but it's not stored often enough to identify who you were in close contact with. Mobile networks also store data about which towers were connected to, but it's not detailed enough to identify precise locations. Unless you're in a society like China where everyone is tracked all the time, contact tracing generally relies on voluntary compliance.

And for good or bad, our freedom mentality is why the US contact tracing will fail miserably. Most people will forget they made a stop at a 7-11 or something or will flat out lie if approached for a verbal recollection of where they have been in the last 14 days. Meanwhile, whether people want to acknowledge it or not, we are already being tracked by whatever mobile device you own and cellular carrier...and I doubt it is really anonymous : https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/04/tech/location-tracking-florida-coronavirus/index.html https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/tracking-covid-19-with-cell-phone-data-while-safeguarding-privacy/ https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/google-releases-huge-trove-of-data-tracking-user-movements-during-covid-19-crisis-1234570096/ https://support.google.com/android/answer/9888358?hl=en https://www.westernmassnews.com/news/government-agencies-now-tracking-phone-apps-to-fight-against-covid-19/article_d150cbe8-b1a4-11ea-8d97-c79ae97a1f99.html https://www.governing.com/security/Phone-Tracking-in-Michigan-Sparks-Privacy-COVID-19-Questions.html https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-human-os/telecom/wireless/facebook-google-data-publics-movement-covid19 https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/apple-makes-mobility-data-available-to-aid-covid-19-efforts/ https://abc6onyourside.com/news/coronavirus/cell-phone-data-used-to-track-covid-19-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wear boots all the time when walking long distances, especially when unsure of the terrain. Sneakers, sandals, mules, pumps, flats makes no difference to me, the point is tracers out in the field talking to people not leaving voice mails. Badges? Well, I guess that might intimidate you. Didn’t figure you were that type though. Subpoenas? Only if you do not cooperate. I take it you are a conscientious objector? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Not walking anything back. Boots on the ground means exactly what I said. You are right, we clearly are not going to have robust contact tracing. So unlike other 1st world countries like in Europe we will just have to live with exponential growth rates for the foreseeable future and our economy will not be able to recover for a very long time. Except in Indiana, you guys are immune to these issues, just like Texas, Florida and Arizona thought they were. “There is no functioning economy unless we control the virus” -Some dude from SC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a false narrative that people *want* schools closed - but if they're going to reopen they need to do so under strict protocols and guidelines.

MisterSG1 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I’m going to put my two cents in on this matter. Once again, Cedar Fair is refusing to take responsibility, just like they shrugged off a guest being fatally stabbed on their property, (albeit in the corner by the toll booths) and they won’t say where this associate worked. i was very concerned about KI reopening, consider I was a Halloween Haunt maze usher at Wonderland. My job was to keep the flow running, when guests won’t listen to me there and laugh at me, who’s the say guests won’t react with the same hostile attitude when they are told to put their masks on. I got in trouble at wonderland for putting my foot down when a big logjam was created with guests and I sternly told them to leave. im not going to point fingers and name the person, but it’s unacceptable when I learned that three current Kings Island associates had spent a day earlier this week goofing off at Holiday World. Yes, a trip that would require crossing over two state lines. I think many understand the risk of that here and personally I am disgusted by that behavior. Obviously, Wonderland isn’t opened, and the province of Ontario is still reporting slightly north of 100 new cases each day, our population is 14.5 million so you can do the math. Cedar Fair’s greed to reopen the parks could care less about public safety. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of another topic very similar to this, where the narrative has been warped into such incredulous "them against us" proportions. It makes me wonder if people actively avoid talking to people who think differently from them. People are simply wanting a better, safer way to open schools back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 And then you see articles like this with an outbreak at summer camps. This place does have day camps and overnight camps and there isn't a readily available breakdown on from which camps, but if it can spread in this environment, why not in school? Certainly puts things like DC trips and other overnight school field trips into question. https://people.com/health/missouri-summer-camp-sees-dozens-infected-with-coronavirus-as-outbreak-raises-safety-concerns/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/08/us/missouri-arkansas-summer-camp-covid-19-trnd/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
