NYC Contact Tracers hired by de Blasio’s trace campaign not checking if people attended demonstrations

Over the two last weeks, Mayor Bill de Blasio and others have voiced concerns that packed police brutality protests across the city could trigger a new wave of COVID-19 infections.

Whether or not that’s the case, however, remains unknown — and de Blasio’s team won’t be directly trying to find out.

The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.

I'm not sure this isn't the right thing to do. Just because someone who tests positive attended a protest doesn't mean you're going to learn much scientifically about the impact of the protests on Covid or be able to perform effective tracing. Many people would just lie anyway or it could inhibit the collection of good data.

Personally I think the liberal assault on Paw Patrol is the real demon, oh and Antifa of course.
