Washington state plans to have 1,500 people conducting contact tracing by mid-May in an e ort to map and control the spread
of COVID-19 as the economy re-opens.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee outlined a phased approach to lifting the lockdown order that has been in place since March during
an address Tuesday. The recovery plan starts with widespread testing — a challenge for states across the country — followed by
rapid isolation of individuals with the virus and contact tracing to prevent it from spreading.

Governor Jay Inslee


@GovInslee

Replying to @GovInslee
Before we adjust measures, we need to be able to:
Test widely
Isolate quickly
Identify contacts
Quarantine contacts

Contact tracing is a disease mitigation strategy in which investigators track down people who interacted with an infected
individual during the window of contagion. It is traditionally done by phone calls and interviews, though governments are now
exploring technology-driven contact tracing. Apple and Google are developing tools
(https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/4/16/21221458/apple-google-contact-tracing-app-coronavirus-covid-privacy) that use
Bluetooth signals in mobile devices to track potential COVID-19 cases, raising new privacy concerns.

The tech companies plan to release software updates next month that enable their mobile operating systems to exchange
anonymized keys with other phones that come in close proximity. When public health o cials identify a positive COVID-19 case,
they will be able to notify everyone whose phone was near the patient without revealing that person’s identity. This digital

contact tracing could be a critical tool as we enter the next phase of the coronavirus pandemic, but privacy experts fear the
technology could outlive the crisis.

During a brie ng call Tuesday, Washington health o cer Kathy Lofy said there are currently 600 people in the state government
trained to do contact tracing and an additional 800 volunteers are learning the necessary skills. But she said contact tracing
cannot be e ective in Washington without “at least 2-3 times more testing than what we currently have.”

Inslee reiterated the issue, saying Washington is “drastically behind on what we need for testing supplies. The simple fact is that
the nation is sorely lacking test kits.”

Researchers in Seattle and Washington are piloting a variety of testing protocols, including an at-home testing program
(https://www.geekwire.com/2020/seattle-researchers-report-initial-results- rst-us-swab-send-covid-19-surveillance-program/)
that began reporting early results last week. The greater Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN)
(https://publichealthinsider.com/2020/03/23/introducing-scan-the-greater-seattle-coronavirus-assessment-network/) partnered
with groups including Amazon Care (https://amazon.care/), a healthcare program for Amazon employees in the Seattle area, on
infrastructure and logistics for the at-home tests.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized another diagnostic test with a home collection option for COVID-19
(https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes- rst-test-patient-home-
sample-collection) on Tuesday. The Pixel by LabCorp COVID-19 Test home collection kit (https://www.pixel.labcorp.com/at-home-
test-kits/covid-19-test) uses nasal swabs to collect specimens that can be mailed into a lab.

Reported cases of COVID-19 have been on the decline in recent weeks in Washington state. On Tuesday, the state Department of
Health reported 197 new cases, bringing the cumulative total to 12,282 cases; and 30 deaths, bringing the state’s death toll to
682.

The original U.S. epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, Washington is now 15th among US states in cumulative cases
(https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html#states). The state represents 1.5% of the more than
800,000 cases in the US, and a slightly larger percentage of the more than 40,000 deaths in the country.

The “stay home” order will remain in e ect in Washington until May 4 at the earliest, though Inslee said Tuesday “we will not be
able to lift many of the restrictions” by then. He compared the re-opening strategy to turning a dial, rather than ipping a switch.

“We believe we can soon allow some elective surgeries to resume provided health professionals have appropriate personal
protective equipment,” Inslee said. “We also hope we can begin to let more people take part in more outdoor recreation.”

Other initial steps will include a “sensible plan” to allow construction to return in a limited capacity. Inslee warned that many
businesses will need to adapt to new safety protocols and social distancing measures going forward.

The social distancing measures that have been in e ect for a month in Washington appear to be reducing the virus’ spread,
Inslee said. But
he cautioned about
 the risks of lifting the restrictions too soon.

“We need healthy people in order to build a healthy economy,” Inslee said. “The data tells us that if we were to lift all restrictions
right now, or even two weeks from now, this decline would almost certainly stop and the spread of COVID-19 would almost
certainly go up.”

This is a reminder that government is necessary and essential. Glad we live in an educated state with a rational Governor. I wasn't a fan
of Inslee but I compliment him on his leadership and pragmatism.

I am a registered Republican in WA state. I voted for Rob McCenna for Governor and Hillary Clinton for President.
Because I trust Science and educated people. I also get my news from Wall Street Journal and New York Times. I also
feel that Jay Inslee had helped keep the curve flat in our state and has shown very good leadership.

Once in a while, try to be objective instead of picking sides. You can be liberal on one thing and conservative on another.

You read the New York Times? THAT is a leftist yellow rag and the Wall Street Journal isn't much better.

You can be a "registered" Republican but you bear no resemblance to any Republican other than a "moderate"
which is another name for a liberal. One thing you aren't - Bali - is a conservative.

Bali, YOU are a liberal, NOT a Republican. NO real Republican would EVER vote for THE MOST CORRUPT

answer for - and haven't. Also the other crimes they committed like selling 20% of ALL of our uranium to Russia.

And I'll wager YOU are a career government puke, right?

My mental health is just fine. I question whether liberals mental heath is though.

Are you refuting that Hillary didn't negotiate the sale of UraniumOne to the Russians - and received about $153
MILLION into one of the two slush funds the Clintons own? Look it up, there's a lot of information - IF you're
interested.

So do you have $Bill's dick up your backside? Governor Jay Inslee does. So does Dr. Anthony Fauci and the
Scarf Queen.

I quit listening to Fox [Faux] News when Rupert's two spawn, Lachlan and James took over Fox News and
brought in Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace and Juan Williams and other jackass liberals. Shep is gone but the
other wing nuts are still there.

Tucker Carlson, Steve Hilton, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity are excellent but I doubt you've ever watched
any of them given your liberal ideology. A Republican? NOT.

Sweden and Brazil kept their economies open and have similar curves to the US but no economic devastation or

California decriminalized knowingly donating AIDS tainted blood.

Dem governors are releasing actual criminals for their health and safety.

Lawful citizens are being locked in the same jails because in living their daily lives they may, possibly, someday infect someone
regardless of whether they themselves are currently infected.

Quarantining sick people is common sense.

Quarantining healthy people is an agenda.

Wake the hell up.

Only sick people are not being quarantined. Any person, even those without symptoms who tested positive for Corona
Virus are being quarantined. This is because Corona Virus afflicted humans do not always show symptoms and could
transmit it to healthy people if not quarantined.

So without knowing who has contracted Covid-19, you can't let 'healthy people' wander out. They are still carriers.

Jay Inslee is a globalist puppet. Remember that he took a few month vacation and billed it to WA state for his failed POTUS campaign.
He constantly berates Trump for no reason other than his incompetence of how government works from top to bottom.

Remember this. WA, OR and CA will be forced to open for business by the end of May regardless of idiotic Governors like Inslee. TX
and GA are opening for business this week and they will set the example.

And his impromptu news conference today at 2PM proves that things are unraveling fast; with both Franklin and Snohomish
counties announcing yesterday that they are both going to ignore his order. So he had to come on TV again and huff and puff
and say "we really mean it."

What a joke!

Governor Jay Inslee is also in $Bill's pocket. $Bill is funding development of a COVID-19 vaccine and needs liberal governors to
extend this lockdown so that our economy disintegrates. He's probably also getting donations from China.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the LARGEST donor to WHO after the USA. WHO, Gates, Dr. Fauci ALL are against
Hydoxychloroquine to fight COVID-19. Why? It's CHEAP, it WORKS and it's AVAILABLE and would negate $Bill's need for a
COVD-19 vaccine.

Governor Inslee, have we EVER done this for any other disease? As many or more die from Influenza every year - why don't we shut
the economy down for the flu every year? Advise those at high risk and then OPEN up the state for business.
People are dying from other diseases because of your shutdown. Women can't be tested for breast cancer, others can't go to their
doctor for other diseases.
This shutdown is so insane that our parks have been shut down. Isn't fresh air better than being cooped up in their homes? Thanks to
your lockdown the city has also put a padlock on the port-o-potty in our parks. I guess needing to relieve oneself is now unnecessary -
and YOU are responsible.

Let me guess - whether you're considered infected or not will depend on your political affiliation, gun ownership status, and social media
score.

In another article one of these clowns stated the purpose of contact tracing is so they can send people to 'help people isolate'.

Sounds like China where they reportedly disappeared people into vans never to be seen again.

At what point does this joker get shut down, if ever? Don't answer or you'll be at the top of the list after me.
