Mr O, The Donald said President Andrew Jackson was greatly concerned about the American Civil War, too bad Jackson died 16 years before the war began. AND, The Donald makes out Joe Biden has dementia! I'm a bit concerned about the Vice-President, Mike Pence, given what a dumbdick the President is, and Pence is only his assistant. A bit like the best job you can get is as Ronald Mcdonald's understudy.

Paul1405,
Are you the last of the "oooh, me Doodle" birds ?

Paul;
Re moslem women, just about the worse possible act that can be committed
in the moslem world is honor killing.
Pakistan appears to be the worse for this "custom".
Imagine killing your daughter or sister because she was seen spending
some time talking with a boy.
Not even kissing him, perhaps at worse just touching hands.
We consider Saudi Arabia to be way out, but compared to Pakistan it is a model of liberalism.

Forgive me, but I have to ask a question:

In Australia, states have struggled to develop efficient means of tracing those people who may have passed on the virus. NSW and other states seems to have it down pat: whenever there are new positive cases, teams of skilled professionals get to work to trace how and who that person may have contracted the virus from - and who they may have passed it onto, i.e. who now has to get tested, and isolated.

So my question in relation to the US, with its forty thousand new cases each day:

* do the states in the US have effective systems of contact tracing ?

Or are new cases simply recorded, and that's it ? New cases of the virus are dealt with, put in isolation, etc., but there's little or no interest - or ability - to track how cases, and from whom, may have been contracted.

This sounds unbelievable. But I don't think I've ever seen any mention of contact tracing in America. If this is so, then they are really, really in trouble.

I hope I'm wrong.

Joe

I went into a cafe the other day and had to sign a sheet with the time
date etc and phone number. While talking to the lady serving me I
asked if they enter the information into their computer, well yes but
it seems there is website it goes into.
So guessing from that point into a database where if someone tests
positive the Dept inputs where they have been and the time a search
would produce a list of people to test.
Anyone know if that is how it works ?
