How is contact tracing supposed to work if the info given is fake?

6. It isn't supposed to work in all cases - just most...

Look, doctors and scientists aren't idiots. Though some are forced to say things by idiots, or they become idiots by pursuing political agendas in public office or the media. But the ones who set up these programs are pretty well grounded.

They know that people who are closeted won't reveal their real contacts. If a married man had sex with a man and got a disease that gets tracked, they will say it was a woman they don't know. Trace ends.

It's built into how the system works. Most people who are traced for CV will be pretty honest. Some with hidden lifestyles won't reveal those details, but at least the ones they do can be contacted to see if they have any symptoms and be advised to isolate.

They do what they can. But as long as their is a stigma associated with alternative lifestyles, people will hide them at all cost. It's human nature.
