re: Destroya: EVERY restaurant customer will be required to give their name and phone number

They will interview those people and find out where they've been.

The lists are to facilitate tracing of contacts, and restaurants will be hot spots of contacts. If we had widespread testing, the need for tracing would be lessened, but it will be a while before the testing ramps up sufficiently.

It just seems like something that may sound good in theory to someone, but it is a lot of work for very little reward. It takes up to 14 days to show symptoms, and we're asking someone sick with covid to give dates/places accurately. Then we're expecting some random local government employee to sit down with lists and call people based on whatever they wrote down? And expecting people who went out knowing their risks to listen to a self quarantine order when they possibly weren't even exposed to said sick person?

And what about the myriad of other places the sick person may have been in the past 14 days? The gas station, Home Depot, grocery store, etc. don't have lists to call.

It seems like an immense burden being places on struggling restaurants and a waste of money/time for something that might help a couple people.

Also, forgive my ignorance but is there still an issue with tests not being available? I havn't heard that being said in a while, so genuinely asking.
