    It does not matter how much you don't like the fact that -nothing- in HIPPA prevents a health care worker from asking a patient if they participated in an activity that may have exposed them to CV19 - it remains a fact.

    Exactly. To even think the millions protesting, rioting and burning are somehow less of a threat compared to anyone attending a Trump rally is asinine. Leftists have no shame and certainly aren’t rubbing 2 brain cells together.

    And thus, you aptly describe the double-standard of the left.

    Interesting that you neglected to answer the question

    Of course you would be fine if health care workers asked if they had attended a Trump rally... right?

    "New York's team of contact-tracers, who are trying to discern exposures to the coronavirus and stem another break-out, have been instructed not to ask individuals if they attended a protest.

    "No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest," Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for Mayor Bill de Blasio, told The City. "If a person wants to proactively offer that information, there is an opportunity for them to do so."

    But as anti-racist protests erupted around the country in late May, after Minneapolis police killed Black man George Floyd, some public officials were using the phrase "contact-tracing" to refer, somewhat obliquely, to police surveillance."

    I'd be surprised if HIPPA wasn't part of that determination.

    As is almost always the case, your question is irrelevant to what I said.

    Fact: HIPPA does not prevent health care workers from asking patients about their medical conditions.
    You can disagree, it just means you choose to be wrong.

    Asking about their politics is not asking about their medical condition.

    Or to put into one of those questions you never answer, how could it not be HIPPA..

    That Maine Trump supporter has killed 5 people so far. The county he lives in now has a positivity rate a few times higher than the rest of the state.

    One guy can do a lot of damage, even more if he's president.

    If a few days of Sturgis could produce over a quarter million cases, just image, if you will, how very few cases we would have without over 3 months the protesting and rioting going on......

    Nah, it' still Trump's fault.....

    While the headline indicates it to be informational, it requires that I take a survey to access the content.

    Someone either here or another political site, said they were doing cell phone overlays to track usage during the Sturgis event, and where they went after. I question the legality of that.

    HIPPA allows health care providers to ask any question relevant to their patient's health care.
    This includes their participation in high-risk activities.
    The idea that HIPPA precludes a health care provider asking someone if they were involved in a #BLMob riot has absolutely no rational basis.

    I didn't say HIPPA precluded asking. Other powers that be did.

    So they can ask if you have been to a Trump rally? That would be a major risk factor

    What part of "HIPPA allows health care providers to ask any question relevant to their patient's health care" do you not understand?
    Be as specific as you can, and I will help you, best I can, with your reading comprehension issue.
