"Body-camera footage shows an officer warning party-goers of the violations. After scanning the ID of one of the students who lives in the house, he saw a note on his computer that the student had tested positive for COVID-19 just one week before."
So a police officer was able to access HIPAA-protected person-specific information about a student just by scanning the student's ID? Who authorized that a LEO may have access to that information? In what database was this student's medical information stored, likely without his knowledge or consent? How is it possible that a police officer can access medical information about someone during a routine interaction? Who else can see those medical records?
This student's medical condition was used against him by someone who should not be able to have knowledge of it for any reason. This is also a violation of that student's 4th Amendment rights.
And that is why I will not get tested under any circumstances. I'm 100% against electronic storage of or the sharing of medical records. I'd rather mine be only stored in a manila folder in a file cabinet.
There are lots of things that are not and should not be protected. Typhoid Mary taught us that, years ago when she spread the disease around and even killed people, although she only had a mild case of typhoid.
If someone is tested positive for covid I want everyone to know - not just police officers. I want the neighbors to know, the co-workers, and everyone in the victim's family.
This nonsense of "my own private business" is pure hysteria. It is the public's business to know who is ill. Innocent people should have the tools needed to protect themselves.
Spreading aids around has landed people in jail. Spreading covid around should have the same penalty.
If the OP finds himself gasping for breath some night he will be banging on the ER door wanting to be tested and treated. Manila folders will be the last thing he will worry about.

1913, you became property of the State, giving up ALL endowed rights, at birth.
2 Amendments to the USCON, is all it took.
We went from a Republican form of government, to the Socialist Democratic form, known as Fascism.
It was all the rage, during the "Progressive Era", when Marxism was to be the new experiment worldwide. Mussolini, perfected it. Hitler loved it, and the USCON stood in the way of it.
Not an issue. In order to attend the school, the students most likely signed waivers allowing to be tested and the allowed the use of the data by the school.
Also, healthcare providers are required by law to report certain diseases that risk the public’s safety, such as COVID and malaria to the local health department.

Because government now thinks of THE PEOPLE as property, once they consent to be governed.
We The People, is very different they We The Citizens.... They are not the same. One day, I hope a majority gets that fact.
Not only that, but when the Covid Enforcement Agency (CEA) is formed under Bitem/Harrass, those who test positive for covid will be boxcarred to Auschwitz... er, I mean a Covid Camp in the western deserts where they can "recover."
By the way, the mortality rate for typhoid before antibiotics was around 20% for healthy people less than 80 years of age. The mortality rate for covid is less than 1% for healthy people less than 80 years of age. Equating the two diseases and their respective optimal public health reaction is rather ignorant, and that is being polite. Same applies to AIDS. At one time, contracting AIDS was a 100% death sentence. How can anyone with at least one logical brain cell compare the two? Covid is barely even statistically significant compared to AIDS (back in the early years).
Speaking of AIDS... do you have a list of all those with AIDS? Didn't think so. And how about a list of all those with the common cold? You do realize that some people die from complications due to the common cold, right? So why not have all those with the common cold wear yellow arm bands with a big black I (for infected) printed on it? Or maybe brand them on the forehead.

Where does innocence come into this?
People do indeed have the tools needed, or at least they believe they do. Wear a mask. Wear a dozen masks. Wear a hundred. Wrap yourself in bubble paper. Or better yet, stay at home if you genuinely feel you are at some particular risk. Neither you nor anyone else have need of my testing results, positive or negative, should I be tested, and why would I be tested when I have no symptoms or reason to believe I'm infected? What gives you the right to my medical information?

Bad analogy. Spreading AIDS (for gays, the main source of that epidemic) meant finding someone (or a bunch of someones) willing to allow themselves to have a d*ck jammed up their *ss or shoved down their throat. The Chinese Creeping Red Death, uh, Flu does not require such a willing recipient and even if infected, 99.7% of people fully recover with no ill effects. Most will never even know they've been infected.
I will not be tested for any reason. Neither I nor members of my family will be vaccinated. We will not be on the radar of the county health department, the CDC, or any other suspect organization.
