There are far too many new positive cases to effectively contact trace and preemptively quarantine (to have a visible/immediate impact).  Not to say that it's not an important effort...stemming the tide of an exponential function is always meaningful, but we won't see significant results for a while.  I think of it as plugging holes in the dike with fingers.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Gotta hire more tracers.  Or lock it all down again and burn out the virus until contact tracing capability can deal with each day's new positive cases.
