As @ASlavitt points out in this incredibly important thread, we must train a contact tracing workforce if we are ever going to get back to normal. My bill, the COVID-19 TRACE Act, would create that workforce through a $100 billion dollar grant program. QT @ASlavitt: 5. Train contact tracing workforce 6. Set up telemedicine to keep care going for patients 7. Flu immunizations 8. C… https://t.co/5SBXCd4407)
Exactly. We must increase testing in communities that have been most impacted by the coronavirus. My bill, the COVID-19 TRACE Act, would provide $100 BILLION dollars in grants for local organizations to run mobile testing units to ensure everyone who wants a test can get tested.

Nearly 80,000 people have died from COVID-19. However, instead of stopping the spread of this virus, people like @eScarry would rather spread lies and misinformation. There is not a single sentence in my bill that mentions forced quarantine. Try reading it next time, Eddie. QT @dcexaminer: The calls for testing and tracing are less and less about moving past the pandemic and almost exclusively about the… https://t.co/Sc2XccnK0h)
First they told us black people were immune to COVID-19. How'd that work out? Now, these same voices are spouting off satanic conspiracy theories about a bill aimed at protecting minorities and other medically underserved communities. You do the math. https://t.co/PzIV7O0E6z
"...the bill did not mandate testing, did not call for the removal of children/adults from homes under ANY circumstances, & did not authorize anyone to forcibly enter homes to test residents for COVID-19. Its entire purpose was to fund mobile health units & outreach testing..."
Spoiler: It doesn’t. “In short, the Act would, if passed, create grants for health care, school-based, academic, and nonprofit entities to run mobile testing sites...It doesn’t include any additional or hidden contractual terms.” https://t.co/P3RclXcUmi
"In sum, given the bill’s language that explicitly states that its provisions would not supersede existing federal protections to privacy & that rumors about the bill were based on falsified misinterpretation of the legislation, we rate this claim false." https://t.co/drXWcduGjA
"In sum, given the bill’s language that explicitly states that its provisions would not supersede existing federal protections to privacy and that rumors about the bill were based on falsified misinterpretation of the legislation, we rate this claim 'False.'"

If you're keeping track, stay at home orders meant to flatten the curve and ultimately SAVE AMERICAN LIVES, have been compared to: ✅Slavery (@TomiLahren); ✅Concentration Camps (@RepHeatherScott, @Barnes_Law); and now ✅Interment Camps White Privilege takes zero days off.

Good question. My bill, the COVID-19 TRACE Act (H.R. 6666), would create a $100 billion grant program to locally hire individuals in order to fully mobilize our contact tracing efforts. Widespread testing and contact tracing is the only way to safely reopen the economy. QT @mcuban: Explain to me why in the midst of 50m people unemployed or under-employed, the gov isn’t hiring and training MILLIO… https://t.co/35lPbZuZBd)
