What is the state of contact tracing?

Santa Clara county is struggling to hire, but even the 50 they have should be able to cover the case load

I see county level statistics showing a few dozen cases daily for most Bay Area counties.

So where are the stats on source of infection?

How many think it was from shopping in a grocery store? Vs some other less common activity?

The message should be consistent from the people of California: elected officials have our trust to the extent they can tell us what will happen when.

When you're closing beaches with strong evidence outdoors aren't risky, you lose trust.

There are secondary metrics we should start seeing:

- # cases were traced?

- # traced contacts informed?

- What % of new cases have a known source?

- What % of cases have X infection source
X ∈ (unknown, shared home, shared workplace, retail shopping, beaches, ....)

What do you think about this thread @JonMays ?

How would rate the local response in San Mateo County?

Especially with respect to data informed policy decisions?
