It seems to me that it's probably a money issue. States can't run deficits and the Federal government hasn't stepped up to backstop municipalities, just private corporations. Extend the states an unlimited line of credit from the Treasury for contact tracing and most of the states would probably ramp up.

It might actually be easier to get federal money for unemployment than for contact tracing.

My gold and Bitcoin and debt want this.

My parents who are about to retire do not want this.
