I understand your point. Right now, most places have a case load that would be manageable IF they were ready right today to use contact tracing to contain the spread. The problem is it appears that the places who had no capability or inadequate capability didn't move fast enough to prepare for re-opening. It was entirely clear that "the hammer" part of the treatment would be tolerated only until the curve was mostly flattened. We needed to be ready for "the dance". We aren't, and that is a reflection on our entire social mindset.

The thing is every bit helps.  Every chain that can be terminated reduces R0 fractionally and results in fewer chains that have to be terminated later.

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.

Yup, it sounds like we as a society have determined that beating the virus is just too damned difficult.  I have my opinions about leadership at the top, and he has made things worse, but we have to look into the mirror to find the source of the failure.
