I might have missed it earlier in this thread [and, if so, I apologize], but can someone explain how one can realistically and effectively contact-trace tens [hundreds?] of thousands of participants in mass protests spreading over several nights in many of the nation's major cities?  And, if that isn't possible, given what has actually happened over the past 2 weeks or so, isn't the absence of effective contact tracing perhaps not as consequential as it otherwise might have been [i.e., an awful lot of problems are going to arise from the protests that sort of dwarf the inability to perfectly contact-trace a neighbor's multi-family Memorial Day BBQ]?

Clearly contract tracing is not at the top of our leader's agenda insofar as his chief concern appears to be making sure he doesn't get sued for contributing to the deaths of those who attend his rallies:

Truly, is anyone surprised we are descending into a failed state? There is no leadership at the top, and nearly everyone below is squabbling as much as they are providing solutions. The time for contact tracing was in March and early April when the numbers were low and this was a manageable way to limit new infections. Between states re-opening in mid-April, the "end the lockdown" rallies in late April and early May, and the George Floyd rallies over the past two weeks, we're way past the point of contract tracing being a solution. It may help, especially in areas where the virus is still not very prevalent, but at this point we appear to have capitulated to the virus and it's every man for himself...

Pathetic.
