I'm surprised it took this long. Our contact tracing went to 'tracing-light' in August after the first minor bump in the road. It nope'd out due to further incompetence a month later. From 8 hours full investigations, to now 10-minute convo's that only ask a handful of obvious questions, because it was only a few dozen people doing the job. They're only now scaling it actually up. Over 2k per 100k is entirely different levels of abysmal, though, Jesus. It's gonna be a rough end of the year.

Its not all doom and gloom. Cases seem to be leveling off in the US. Though I think thanksgiving might send things into a tailspin due to poor government policy. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2020/11/200pm-water-cooler-11-23-2020.html
