My husband felt ill and had to be tested for COVID in order to get sick days at work. He tested positive. He followed the nurse’s orders and told the school our daughter goes to, letting them know she was exposed. In hindsight, we probably didn’t need to do that. She was mildly sick with body aches, no fever. and a headache one day about 4 days before my husband, and she felt better that night. Anyway, based on my husband’s positive test, the school was going to make her remote learn for basically a month, 20 days total, due to some retarded formula that people are contagious for 10 days and she could still get it from him on his 10th day. We figured out that if we just tested her, banking that she’d get a positive test, we’d drastically reduce her “quarantine” time. She did get a positive test and she’s already back in school.
Here’s the part that really pisses me off, though. Subsequently, we’ve been called by two different entities, questioning us about our positive tests. My church’s secretary called so she could send out a letter to inform everyone that a positive (non symptomatic) case aka my daughter was at church. This is another drama story, that involves my mother, but I won’t go there. And don’t get me started on the whole mask rule. Our church enforces masks, so I don’t see why it should matter an asymptomatic masked person was in attendance, SINCE MASKS WORK, RIGHT?? And I just got a phone call and voicemail from my county’s health department. We didn’t tell anyone other than the school and my husband’s work. Why are we getting phone calls from these people? Isn’t this a HIPPA violation? I live in a small county population-wise, so I know the church was informed by a covidiot that works for the school and also attends my church. But why is the Health Department calling me? This all feels like a violation of my family’s health privacy. Apparently I had the virus first. But as it just felt like a shitty cold that wouldn’t go away. I never was tested because well, it’s a goal of mine to be never tested. But also, it was so freaking mild, I couldn’t fathom this could be it, the “terrible” virus that shut down the world. I’ve had hangovers that were worse. Granted it took forever to feel 100%, I still think the China virus is a joke. I have yet to personally know one fucking person who has died from COVID. I’ve been over the whole mask wearing, vax pressuring psy-op for some time. But now it’s getting personal. No one should be contact tracing me and my family over a stupid cold. Do I just ignore the health department and not return their call? Or Should I be lawyering up or tell them to get fucked? This is a HIPPA violation, right? Or is HIPPA thrown out the window because it’s a “pandemic”? I honestly hate confrontation. And the area I live in is so small town, I know all the players in this drama and will definitely be running into them at the supermarket. But I know this is just the start to what these Nazis want to do.
Use it to your advantage.
Pick a number of people or groups that you REALLY don't like... and report that you were around them several times while contagious and they might have caught the virus.
Make them all get tested and have to quarantine. ?
That was my thought. The school did it. It’s still crazy people are allowing it. I suppose the last stand is vaccine passport violations?
They won’t need passports they’ll just get big tech to implement same thing under some “voluntary” app. Only you can’t do anything like go to a concert etc without the app.
According to HIPAA, it would only be a violation if the doctor or those who do business with the hospital (insurance, clearinghouse) share the information. If you freely gave the info to the school and they shared it, they didn’t violate HIPAA. If your daughter got a COVID test from them and they didn’t have you sign a HIPAA form and shared info, then they are in violation. You signed a HIPAA form with your provider, not the school. I studied this law for two years, it’s pretty confusing and should honestly apply to any business or company we share personal health information with.
Thanks! This is the info I was hoping for. I knew if the doctor shared it, that would be a violation, but other places are it it seems? I suppose this loophole in the law is how they will enforce the vaccine passports.
Dont answer questions of any kind even law enforcement its a trap. call a lawyer
Wow. I would be pissed. I also live in a small town and know how it goes. I would not return their call. And make sure the covid tracker is turned off on your phone.
Covid tracker? ? What does that look like if you have an iPhone?
You will find it under Settings, Privacy, Health. The default setting may be ON. Best to check it.
Thanks! I’m checking it right now. ?
I had to get tested for my work too in order to have my sick days paid and b/c my company is a liberal cesspool, they reported it to the state health department. I quarantined like I was supposed to and just ignored the state dept. I let their phone calls go to vm and never called them back. My husband who was sick as well and got tested at the same time never got a state health department call. I was so annoyed that his work was more based than mine. ? I would ignore the state, but that’s just me and b/c I already did and it was fine...nobody beat down my door or anything.
Just tell them that 99.97% of people survive from the wuhan flu
HIPPA doesn't apply to the heath department unless you know they shared your family's test results with others. The school telling the church is a violation.
Giddy up. Saddle up that lawyer and riiide.
Why are you attending a church that enforces masks?
I live near a small town, and we just got a new priest sent here last summer. Whenever a priest is sent to our area, it’s usually probably a punishment as they are assigned to two churches and its more work, less people. From things he’s said, it appears he was caught performing private mass in people’s homes during the shutdown when churches were ordered closed, thus was sent here As our church secretary is a mask Nazi, covidiot, she’s already reprimanded him on his lack of social distancing and other stupid “violations”, he’s been sticking to the rules by the archdiocese, which is located in a liberal hub. And as we lost most of our already lacking attendance due to the pandemic and people afraid of the virus, I think our small parish is on the verge of being shut down. It’s a price I’m willing to pay to keep our church doors open.
Tell the mask nazi fuck off. You don't have to obey until the swat team arrives.
I would ignore the health department and go on with my life.
Kek. As I said, I’m non confrontational. Ignoring is super easy.
And cowardly. Ignoring is what got our country into this mess.
Valid point.
I’m very confrontational, my wife says I’m Larry David. I’d ignore unless they keep up with phone calls, then they’d get a piece of my mind.
Lol! That’s awesome. We need more Larry David’s in our side!
Dr's and testing centers are required to report any positive test cases to the local Health Depts. I'm going thru this same experience right now with Volusia County. My 22 yr old college son came home for Spring Break and was infected (unknowingly), got sick at home and exposed the whole household. My 10 yr old daughter tested negative for COVID, but has ALL the same symptoms her brother has. Weird, I know, right?
Dr down here said NOT to get her tested again, because if do and she tests positive, it restarts the quarantine clock. My son tested positive last Thurs, daughter tested negative on Sun, almost 72 hrs (to the minute) after my son tested positive.
Now, all the research I've done says that "IF" someone is gonna test positive for it, it will happen within the first 24-48 hrs after exposure. My daughter tested negative 72 hrs after exposure, but the Dr said it was too early to test her. Weird, I know, right?
So, we're in quarantine until Friday of next week. Yay...not.
Also, the Dr who saw my son is the same Dr who saw my daughter. We went to Advent Health Centra Care near us. I don't believe for one second that ANY General Practice Dr, worldwide, knows what the deal is when it comes to COVID. The info is conflicting everywhere you look.
How can one person test positive, yet another person, from the same household, test negative but have the SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS 3 days later, when the research says you'll most likely contract COVID within 24-48 hrs of exposure?
One other thing here, as well: that Dr DID NOT prescribe any meds for either child. He said "clear liquids, vitamins, and rest should be all you need for them. They're fighting this just fine with their own immune systems." So we tried his suggestion...and it didn't work. They got worse UNTIL I went to:

I got my son the HCQ/Z-Pak combo, and my daughter got Ivermectin (she was born with a faulty Tricuspid Valve). She was cleared by her infant cardiologist by 3 yrs old, but still has a slight heart murmur, so I opted for Ivermectin so we wouldn't tax her heart too much. My son is doing great now, just has a nasty cough trying to clear his lungs out. The daughter just started her treatment and seems to be doing a lot better.
Yet, still we quarantine. Yay...not.
Just my little anecdotal story.
I hope you is helps anyone who is going thru this same experience.
Remember:

Edit: Forgot to mention that the Volusia County Health Dept contacted us within 12 hrs of my son's positive test case. I told him to call them back (I don't answer calls from an unrecognized number). So far, he hasn't, and they keep calling, but have yet to send a rep to the house. Don't know what kind of attention that'll bring, but so far it's not been an issue. So, take that for what it's worth. Some areas might no be so lenient as ours is. But for right now, NOT talking to the Health Dept hasn't come back to bite us in the ass. Hopefully it won't, either, because I HAVE NO INTENTION of EVER talking to them about our "COVID episode," because NO ONE knows what they're doing with this mess. There's too much conflicting research for anyone to get a clear measurement of what we're ACTUALLY dealing with here. Your area's Health Dept might no be so lenient, so take this for what it's worth.
Y'all have a blessed week.
I'll be making a more in depth post on our experience for everyone here to see.
I did order meds, but through Dr Corsi’s site. They sent me HCQ, Azithromycin and 50 mg of zinc. But by the time I thought to order it and by the time it got here I was essentially symptom free, just have a lingering cough and a little bit of congestion. I’m keeping it and thinking of having my husband order more to have for our prepper supply. It appears to combat a multitude of DNA viruses, polio, rabies, Hep A and B, Zika. It’s good to have for the next DS bioweapon.
And I concur on the docs not having a clue. I too asked for meds for my husband and was told to have him just drink fluids and let it run it’s course, unless he gets worse, then they’d do some costly hospital treatment. I also asked about if he’d need a negative test result to go back to work (my husband was under the assumption he needed one). And the nurse told me that would be impossible because he could have a positive test for weeks after he caught it. So my daughter tested positive but her infection date could have been weeks ago when she had a cough and a headache and I just thought it was allergies.
In my household I was sick 6 days before my hub showed symptoms. Weird as we kissed and slept in the same bed, and I put away the dishes every day that he drank and ate off of. I suppose he could have been infected for days before he showed symptoms. Makes sense as to how easily this virus spreads. People are going about their business not knowing they have it. I didn’t think I had it because I never had a fever. Just a day of chills and bodyaches. The weirdest part of this illness over others was the intense fatigue that lingered and lingered. Took me over a week to feel completely normal. Hubs said it felt like a chemical hangover, like he just did a bunch of bad trucker speed. Makes sense as we know it’s a lab, man-made virus.
HIPAA only applies to health care providers. But I like Retaining H20's idea LOL.
Not true. HIPPA applies to everyone
No it doesn't. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/index.html
Did your daughter say something to one of her friends? If it got out that way it would no be a violation.
Even so, I don’t think it’s their business to be calling us and questioning us. That’s the HIPPA part. Aka it’s none of their gotdayum business.
All under the guise of "contact tracing". You do not need to tell them anything
Yeah I’ll just ignore them. I felt so pissed, it almost made me feel brave for a second.
I understand the anger. Truly. We are living in a mad world right now.
But think about how much you'll frustrate them by NOT answering their questions and ignoring them ?
