You may soon be visited by a “contact tracer” now being recruited by your state government, which is building armies of them. He or she could tell you that you’ve been in contact with a COVID-infected person and require that you be tested. They may even force you into stricter quarantine than you’re already enduring. It’s happening all over the country as you may have heard, but Maine and New Hampshire won’t need as many as Massachusetts, which has far more COVID cases.

Although they have the same population, New Hampshire has twice the number of contact tracers (over 60) than Maine has (30), for some reason. A former CDC director says the entire United States needs 300,000.
