More miss-information;
"No provision in this bill would make testing or quarantining mandatory. The bill includes privacy protections for the medical information of individuals that would limit how grantee organizations could share information collected with the federal government. (A large-scale disinformation campaign has made absurd claims about this bill.)"

Why would I want *ANY* of my medical information shared with the government? This is a very slippery slope no matter how the wording is couched.

SSgt (Join to see) - Well, since I go to the VA, plus have MEDICARE and TRICARE, I am not too worried about who has my medical records.

Yea. I have government records too. As a technologist, for the longest time it did not bother me that so much PII was collected by Big Brother. Over the last couple of years I have become concerned as it is apparent that we have multiple Big Brothers. Amazon, FB, Google, Apple, Uncle Sam (and all of the alphabet soup that is there).

I cannot clearly draw a line between what should be tracked, and what should not to maintain our privacy. And that is part of what worries me. I've started the "disentangle your life from [google/apple/amazon] several times. I use an Android which requires a google account and disentangling all the things I depend on and/or use has proven nearly impossible.

Thank you my friend SSgt (Join to see) for making us aware that Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush (IL) recently introduced the COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone, or TRACE, Act.
'Rush’s bill would provide $100 billion in funding to the Health and Human Services Department for “diagnostic testing for COVID–19, to trace and monitor the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of such contacts.” In short, the proposed legislation would both test and track infected individuals and all their contacts. The new buzz phrase is “contact tracing.” '
Per https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6666/all-info

This bill has 44 democrat cosponsors and one republican cosponsor Rep. Van Drew, Jefferson [R-NJ-2]

Sounds like "1984 revisited" to me. Never trust "Big Brother" policies to not go overboard.
