The point where I disagree is that the guidance is the floor, not the ceiling.
Will it impede with people learning and davening ?
Someone was hospitalized today, low 50s.
At an urgent care tonight, place is packed with people asking for COVID tests. One smart lady walked in without a mask asking for a COVID test.
Guess they didn't get the "don't test" memo. It's fine though, the urgent care just won't report.
Guess they don't read ddf...
Are you serious that they don’t report?
I had the same thing a few weeks ago. The woman asking for a COVID test is probably there because she needs proof of a negative test, not because she has reason to believe she's positive.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but if she has no reason to believe she is positive, walking into a packed testing center without a mask is a great way to ensure she proves herself wrong.
A pet conspiracy theory of mine right now.
Here in NY if u don't report properly (including timely) you could face major fines. I know somebody that made a few honest reporting mistakes and it cost his company 12k (2k for 6 infractions). The DOH is looking for any excuse to fine business (generally there's an error rate that is acceptable but for the past few months they've been going after companies for the smallest things).I can't imagine NJ doesn't have reporting requirements and do t see any urgent care center of doctor's office would risk getting cited for not properly reporting, even if they may not get the large fine. It's still on their record and could eventually lead to losing a license.
