"Right now, this is simply illogical and impossible to do contact tracing," Atlas said. "There is no reason they have contact tracing as a predicate for reopening. It’s the improper tool at this point in this infection." Contact tracing has been a significant talking point in the debate surrounding the reopening of many U.S. states, but Atlas -- the former neuroradiology chief at Stanford Medical Center -- called that debate "another example of what’s happening in this whole narrative," where proposed actions are not proven effective by data.
"Testing is very important for three groups of people only right now: People entering nursing homes, people working in a hospital ... pandemic responders, and patients who have symptoms of a viral infection," he added. "We need to know if they're contagious, but contact tracing is just simply ... I hate to say it’s irrational so I’ll say it’s just not the appropriate time to use that tool.
