Several of the articles I posted, which cover many different cities, cite specific numbers and address concerns of the limitations of contact reacting

for example one number given is 3000 people who self reported going to protests and voluntarily got tested. 1% of tests came back positive

of people that tested positive of a different sample group, less than 5% reported attending protests

youre right that we cant get a perfect itinerary from every single person, but that is not the point of contact tracing. The point is to gather a sufficient sample size of data and get the big picture, and the picture that is forming is pointing to bars and partying as the primary drivers of spread

There were however over 100k protesters in NY. It's not really about the young. The statistics is that about 80% of young people are asymptomatic. About 50% of the spread comes from them.

NY is doing very well right now. We'll see if things progress in probably about a month because asymptomatic people have zero reason to get tested.
