THE PRESS DEMOCRAT May 24, 2020
Sonoma County is actively hiring dozens of contact tracers to bolster its corps of coronavirus investigators tasked with interviewing people infected with or exposed to COVID-19, a key part of the county’s plan to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
Job application information is available via www.yourpath2sonomacounty.org under the positions titled Community Health Worker I and II. Starting wages for the hourly positions range from the high teens to the lower twenties, with $1.15 per hour bilingual bonuses possible. Workload will range from 20 to 40 hours per week.
Sonoma County’s contact tracers will be asked to complete a 20-hour online course and attend a potentially in-person orientation before beginning their work remotely, according to the job postings. Job duties include interviewing contacts, explaining COVID-19 exposure and symptoms, referring people for testing and providing quarantine instructions, according to the postings.
The county plans to have 150 trained contact tracing staff by June 15 and 230 by July 15, according to a document filed with state health officials. At least 75 had been hired by the middle of last week.

Re: Sonoma County hiring coronavirus contact tracers
This is nothing more than another way to control us. It may sound "good" for our protection. But it states that if no proper way to quarentine in the home..i.e seperate bathroom for the one with a fever. Than that person will be removed from the home..and put where? People wake up! This money could be better used by putting better, healtheir foods in our bodies and a good nutritional program. Watch for the mandatory vaccine next.

Isolation and Quarantine
The Centers for Disease Control says there is precedent for forcibly removing people and locking them up in quarantine:
Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.
- Isolation separates sick people with a quarantinable communicable disease from people who are not sick.
- Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.
In addition to serving as medical functions, isolation and quarantine also are “police power” functions, derived from the right of the state to take action affecting individuals for the benefit of society.
Federal Law
The federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.
The authority for carrying out these functions on a daily basis has been delegated to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The path to destruction apparently isn’t paved with good intentions, but instead with the Commerce Clause.
Why is it that we’re freeing prisoners and locking up innocents?"
