'Contact Tracing' Jobs Create Terrifying Army of Karens

d337c952-13ff-4954-9863-be58813e8118-730x487.jpg


In my worst dystopian nightmares, I could not have imagined a scenario where the American government would intentionally bankrupt the populace and then offer them $25 an hour to snitch on their neighbors in order to incarcerate them, and yet, here we are. Just in from CBS News is this horrific proposal for contact tracing jobs.



But what is contact tracing? This is the new go-to solution that our betters have come up with to fight the Chinese Wuflu that will erase all semblance of privacy for Americans. They want to know where you’ve shopped, eaten, driven, who you’ve talked to, and who they have talked to. In order to do this, you will install an app on your phone that tracks you and you will give up all of your information ‘voluntarily’ to a government agent who is assigned to spy on you or you will be incarcerated against your will.

If you want to know what this looks like in real life, just check out South Korea and the idiots who think this is fine and dandy. Read the whole thread. This is what is in store for Americans if people don’t wake the hell up and say NO.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">1) Upon arrival, they take your temperature at the airport and ask if you’ve experienced any symptoms. If you have, they move you to a separate area and give you a coronavirus test. If you haven’t, they take you to another area and interview you. They also install ankle bracelets</p>— Michael Kim (@michaelvkim) <a href="https://twitter.com/michaelvkim/status/1258987959673450496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 9, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If you think I’m exaggerating about being incarcerated against your will, check out what Cuomo did in New York before this pandemic even started. He gave himself the authority to incarcerate anyone with any infectious disease for as long as he deems necessary. Then he did it to at least two people in New York, one of whom never tested positive for coronavirus. The man refused to self-quarantine because he had a cold and ended up in the county jail without a hearing or a lawyer.



This is what contact tracing will bring to your life — illegal surveillance, arrest, and incarceration without due process. And yet, the government has found a way to make this job sound attractive by wiping out vast means of supporting oneself by deeming most jobs “non-essential.” But make no mistake, the end result will turn neighbor against neighbor and build an army of Karens into brownshirts for the state. If you think the Karens are bad at the park and on social media now, wait until they are given the power of the state and a fat paycheck to ruin your life for not obeying the crown’s edicts. Is any threat worth giving up your freedom like this?

Here are some of the responses to these new jobs that I found on Facebook.



Does anyone believe that once the threat of this virus is over the databases they built on you and yours will ever go away? We are spiraling headfirst at 400 miles per hour into a Chinese government tracking system that we will not get out of. Ever. Stop this madness now.

if only they had a program like TSA where fellow citizens mindlessly herd people thru cattle walks, thru scanning devices and into sectioned off areas awaiting further segregation/classification.

Dr. Cyril Wecht: “We Are Absolutely Destroying Our Society, Our Civilization"

PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Former Allegheny County Commissioner and Allegheny County Coroner and Medical Examiner for the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, Dr. Cyril Wecht says COVID-19 shutdowns and quarantines are destroying not only the economy but also academia, religion, sports and business.

“We are absolutely destroying our society, our civilization,” said Dr. Wecht, during the KDKA Radio Morning Show on Friday.

The forensic pathologist says the measures are not sustainable, in an op-ed for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week.

“I lived through Polio and Tuberculosis, and the HIV/AIDS situation, various flu epidemics, Ebola and Zica, and SARS and MERS. We’ve never behaved liked this. This is absolutely too much,” Dr. Wecht explains.

He believes it is time to end restrictions and quarantines and get back to living while at the same time protecting the most vulnerable.

“In the 2018-2019 season, we lost 61,000 people to the flu. Now, that’s less than the 78,000 or so that have died thus far due to corona, but still not an insignificant number, and we did not close shop,” Dr. Wecht adds.

You can listen to the full interview with Dr. Wecht below.

A little bit different don't you think?
 
I'm thankful our Florida governor is not a commie and has common sense. The fitness industry will be up and running again Monday. Bars&restaurants. Not to full capacity, but they're going again. Good stuff. Gives me hope other people will pressure their state governments to stop this bs now.

Some of them have gone from the flattening the curve excuse to us having a cure first.Liars. People should absolutely not stand for that.


As you can see your local governments and who you elect are of the utmost importance. See the Michigan govenor for reference. Enough is enough. Now it's just society control under a dictator.

All jobs are essential to a persons life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness...whatever that may be.
 
I didn't think this would happen during our lifetime. Maybe that's naive, maybe it's whatever, I just never saw something like this coming now.

And by that I mean a complete takedown of our way of life.

If restaurants will permanently get out of the practice of seating people next to each other when there are plenty of open areas available, that will be one good thing.

I was at a restaurant tonight where they had every other table unseated. It. Doesn’t. Matter. I walked right by 7 seated tables to hit the restroom. I went right up to the bartender to check out his bourbon selection. I passed five people in the lobby on the way out. Everyone is breathing the same air. This is all bullshit. You do not kill the best economy in the history of the world, shutter small businesses and make restaurants struggle to stay alive at 50% capacity because of a political virus that has 0.001 death rate.

0.001

Ok, maybe it’s not officially that low, but idgaf, this is bullshit, pure and simple.
 
Businesses will do whatever it takes to be open. Part if this will be compliance and part is marketing. All of the coverage has painted such a horror show that businesses seem to think most people are scared to go out. Some are, but i have a feeling a majority of people would be fine with eating in a packed restaurant. Maybe not in NYC, but most other places, I don't think most people are that scared anymore.

There is likely also a group of people who are hesitant to go out now, but give it a few weeks of seeing others go out without dropping dead and they will be ready to venture out as well.

That's the big danger coming out of this. A new normal with remote thermal imagers everywhere in the name of public safety. It's a very short hop from remote thermal imagers to facial recognition and constant surveillance. The technology is already there. I actually don't see how that does not happen soon.

I know of some families that practice the most strict social distancing protocols. To be fair, one has an immunodeficiency issue. I just don't believe that they can go on indefinitely with some bad consequences, especially where kids are concerned. As time wears on, and numbers fall, I believe things will change. In the meantime, just use common sense in terms of hygiene, and start re-engaging.
 
Went to Menards yesterday. It’s like a Home Depot, only a local Midwest chain. They will ask for ID if you appear to be under 16, since 16 is the magical age in which you are now allowed in that store. If you are under 16- forget it. It’s to keep everyone safe.

I can't think of Menards without chuckling ever since the first time I was in one while visit my in laws in Indiana. We were walking in and I was commenting that I'd never been to a Menards before since we don't have them in my area and my brother in law chimes in with "Ouch!!! Me Nards!"
 
I don’t get the reasoning behind the 16 and over policy. Lowe’s and HD don’t have it. Wal Mart for SURE doesn’t have it. My store doesn’t. In fact, we have newborns and toddlers throughout. What is so great about 16????

No spike in coronavirus in places reopening, U.S. health secretary says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Authorities are not seeing spikes in coronavirus cases in places that are reopening but are seeing increases in some areas that remain closed, U.S. health secretary Alex Azar said on Sunday.

“We are seeing that in places that are opening, we’re not seeing this spike in cases,” Azar said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “We still see spikes in some areas that are in fact close to very localized situations.”

Azar put the onus on reopening struggles on local governments.

“These are very localized determinations. There should not be a one size fits all to reopening but reopen we must because it’s not health versus the economy. It’s health versus healthy,” he said, adding there were serious health consequences to not reopening.

Asked about images being broadcast from some areas of the country showing people gathering near bars and congregating close together, Azar said that was the cost of freedom.

“I think in any individual instance you’re going to see people doing things that are irresponsible. That’s part of the freedom that we have here in America,” he said on CNN.

My guess would be that kids under 16 aren't likely to spend much money in those stores. Since stores now have to limit occupancy, they probably don't want to waste space on a 16 y/o non-spender when that space can be given to an adult with a real wallet.

or it's just a random regulation to make it seem like you are doing something when you really have no idea what you are doing. Kind of like most of the government restrictions.
 
What to do when you identify those who break social distance orders.

It's the silliest **** I've seen in my life. Thank goodness a great many including myself have moved way past the hysteria bs.
 
I walked into a Dominos pizza to order some food for one of my clients on Friday. Half way through the order I realized that I had forgotten my mask in the car. When I apologized to the woman taking my order, she shrugged it off. Pretty sure most people are over this ****. But I do have some friends that are still eating this **** 100%, they're ******* weak.
 
Vaccines aren’t scary in and of themselves... as long as billy gates plans for microchipping people or trace marking them with nanobots arent in play im fine with whatever they roll out

Having said this my liberal friends are leaving me down a lot through this... they are so trump focused they are ignoring the rampant civil liberties thrashing this event has bred... to be honest a lot of you conservatives were letting me down but you seem to have pulled your head out of your ***** the last month or so...
