At his May 12 press conference, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee laid out the plans for the statewide contact tracing initiative.
â[The initiative] is robust, it is vigorous and it is comprehensive, and it needs to be all three to be successful,â Inslee said.
âIf we do not succeed in this second stage of our efforts, this virus could come bright back and bite us.â
As LynnwoodTimes.com’s Luke Putvin notes, the information Inslee provided was labeled as âContact Tracing: Box in The Virus.â The steps were listed as follows:
Contact tracing involves interviewing people with positive COVID-19 tests to identify who theyâve been in contact with, getting those people tested and then making sure they isolate themselves and their families.
As the press conference went on, one question kept coming up – what about enforcement? How will you ensure Washington State residents comply and what if they don’t?
The answer is as scary as many have worried about. As Putvin reports, for those businesses/individuals that donât comply, the governor stated that he confirmed with Attorney General Bob Ferguson, there will be sanctions in civil or crimal court.
At timestamp 38:55 in the video of the press conference below, one reporter asked:
âWhen it comes to contact tracing, how are you guys going to handle people or families who want to refuse to test or to self isolate?
If they want to leave their home to get groceries I know youâve said they canât do that; how will you make sure they donât?â
Below is Jay Insleeâs response:
âWe will have attached to the families a family support person who will check in with them to see what they need on a daily basis… and help them. If they canât get a friend to do their grocery shopping, we will help get them groceries in some fashion. If they need pharmaceuticals to be picked up, we will make sure they get their pharmaceuticals… Thatâs going to help encourage them to maintain their isolation too.
âAs far as refusal, it just shouldnât come to that, and it really hasnât. Weâve had really good success when we ask people to isolate, and theyâve done so in really high percentages, so weâre happy about that, and we believe that will continue.â
Therefore, those individuals that refuse to cooperate with contact tracers and/or refuse testing will not be allowed to leave their homes to purchase basic necessities such as groceries and/or prescriptions.
Those persons will need to make arrangements through friends, family, or a state provided âfamily support personnel.â
2A I will not submit.
That this rotten POS governor has not been impeached by now just shows what the people of Washington State are willing to put up with, doesn’t it?
Deprevation of rights, under the color of law. Submit to this tyranny and you will lose your rights.
