People really haven’t really woken up to the reality that contact tracking, forced testing, and eventually vaccination will NEVER happen in the US, at least not in a consistent and effective way.
A significant portion of the population won’t stand for it, and given the current make up of the Supreme Court any mandatory citizen tracking, or job based discrimination based on mandatory testing will not pass muster. Nor will forced vaccinations. We can’t get people to vaccinate against measles and whooping cough, which spread faster and kill more people (including children).
Civil liberty practically ensures that in most places tracking and vaccination will have to be optional.
Whether we like it or not we are heading toward a herd immunity strategy.
If this were killing 30% of the general population, like smallpox could, people would fall in line. But I can’t see it happening for something as comparatively mild as COVID-19.
