Then you would say "no". I'm suggesting volunteering the information.
Or have someone develop an app that strips all identifying information and let people submit the data themselves.

Why aren't we administering IV vitamin C?
Is that better than the government knowing exactly where you're at at all times after the virus is taken care of?Philip J Fry said:
Because the virus doesn't travel in the dang wind. It would tell us pretty much exactly where the virus exists and could be spreading.
Philip J Fry said:
Surely, we could do something similar with their permission. They could always turn the cdc down. But knowing exactly where those that were infected were would be hugely value able.

While the post did not specifically mention the reason for the hundreds of closures, the company posted on March 15 that they were focused on keeping their nearly 45,000 employees working and customers safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Warning of the risk of an explosive rise in coronavirus infections in Japan's capital, Tokyo's governor on Wednesday asked residents to avoid non-essential outings through until April 12, Reuters reports.Quote:
Yuriko Koike told a news conference that the situation was "severe" after 41 new cases were reported in Tokyo on Wednesday alone.
She asked residents to cooperate to stem the spread by avoiding unnecessary outings, working at home as much as possible and staying away from restaurants and gatherings.
"To avoid an overshoot in infections, the cooperation of Tokyo residents is critical. I ask you to act with a sense of crisis," Koike said.
The city has become the centre of Japan's coronavirus epidemic, with 212 cases, more than any other region after increases this week. It overtook the hard-hit northern island of Hokkaido island on Tuesday as the prefecture with the most infections, public broadcaster NHK reported.
The outbreak has infected 1,271 people in Japan as of Wednesday evening, with 44 deaths linked to the virus, NHK said. That excludes 712 cases and 10 deaths from a cruise ship moored near Tokyo last month.

The announcement came as the Russian president rolled out a series of emergency measures to limit the health and economic impact of the spread of the virus in Russia . While asking Russians to stay home, the Russian president stopped short of issuing a mandatory quarantine or state of emergency.
Speaking on television, the Russian president announced a nationwide weeklong holiday in order to slow the spread of coronavirus through Russia. The holiday would extend from 28 March until 5 April, he said. Workers across the country would be guaranteed to receive their salaries, he added.
He also announced a series of economic initiatives, debt relief for those diagnosed with coronavirus, support for the unemployed, additional benefits for families with small children, a tax holiday for small businesses, and a moratorium on some bankruptcies.
In a direct appeal to Russians, Putin said: "Don't think this can't happen to me. It can happen to anyone." He told the country to stay home.
The address came one day after a senior Russian official told Putin that government tallies underestimated the number of coronavirus victims in the country and that the Kremlin needed to take urgent measures to address the virus' spread before it turned into a crisis.
Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin told Putin on Tuesday that the rate of coronavirus "growth is high; a serious situation is developing," and warned that the healthcare system may be overwhelmed at the virus' peak.
Official statistics have now revealed a significant acceleration in the spread of coronavirus in Russia. A record 163 new cases confirmed by officials on Wednesday, bringing the country's total to 658 cases. Most of the new infections were identified in Moscow, which posted a jump of 120, or 43%, overnight. One death has been attributed to the disease.
Russia's parliament on Wednesday said that it would review legislation that could put quarantine breakers in jail for a period of 3 to 7 years. Currently, those who return from abroad or exhibit symptoms of sickness are required to self-isolate for 14 days. And those found guilty of intentionally infecting others could even face terrorism charges, a Russian lawmaker said.
"In the event of intentional causing of one or more deaths as a result of the deliberate violation of sanitary and epidemiological regulations, irrespective of the intentions, such an action will be defined as terrorism, hooliganism or sabotage," Russian lawmaker Pavel Krasheninnikov told reporters.

I am a bit confused on Mardi Gras being to blame...wasnt that a month ago? The people showing up in hospitals now, were they infected by someone who got it at Mardi Gras? Surely this isnt showing up 1 month later in people, right???
