Michigan orders restaurants to collect customers' information amid COVID-19 surges
2020-10-30
[DetroitNews] Lansing — Michigan restaurants will have to begin tracking the names and numbers of customers in case of COVID-19 outbreaks starting Monday under a policy announced Thursday as the state experiences surges in cases of the virus.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services unveiled orders that limit non-residential indoor gatherings without fixed seating to 50 people — the limit was 500 — and restrict individual table sizes at restaurants to six people.

The health department's order came on a day when Michigan set a new daily record with 3,675 COVID-19 cases — the most and 41 more deaths Thursday. That's the most new confirmed cases in a single day during the seven-month pandemic for the state.

#12  Nah, just a fascist mandate created by an unelected official and the "full force" of the state and approval of the governor to back them up.

And I won't be eating out again until this is over. Screw any restaurant that complies with this BS. I won't fake my name to eat out. I won't give my name to eat out. To heck with it, and I hope they all go under. Bah humbug.

#11  I am sure this is a law mandated by the people and entered into law by the people's representative and in the civil law books. Right?

#6  Has COVID gone "up" while "Flu" has gone down?

After all excess mortality is below average.

Is the lockdown-mistake just because were over-reacting to something we only started looking for?

#5  So a State with one of the most restrictive C-19 policies is seeing a common seasonal up tick in Virus infections.

WHY THE PANIC.
If I counted right using the

CDC COVID-19 WEB SITE


Michigan was 26th out of 50 in the USA. With 25.8 new cases in last 7 Days per 100K

#3  I'd not be inclined to go to one of those restaurants unless I give them a false name, like Harden Stuhl.

/ obscure, for sure!

#2  See, our restaurants are open, but....

I would not patronize any restaurant that pulled that crap, mandated or not.
