What happened to ‘contact tracing?’

Histories of past epidemics show the importance of contact tracing.

But the subject has vanished from the public discussion and the media pays it no mind.

Maybe the media is not interested in solutions, only in the problems.

Maybe governments are not interested in solutions either.

Turn the problem of blindness over to a government agency and come back a year later; ask for an update; there will be more blind people, not less.

I fear that the truth of this iron law of government agencies is not a theory; we might be seeing it play out in real time.
