Yesterday

Yesterday, I was out in public....hanging out in a cafe and a restaurant here in the Hessen region of Germany.  Note, this is in the new rule 'game' of Corona.

So when you sit down....the waiter comes out and lays down a slip....basically asking for your name, e-mail, address, etc.  At the end of the day, it all goes into an envelope and is kept for x-number of days.  If an infection is noted out of this cafe or restaurant.....then they know the people who were there, and the authorities will issue a voluntary-stay-at-home order, and a test for Corona.

My hassle with it?  It's private information.  The waiters were nice about it.....they'd like to skip this but it's the regulation now. 

The fact that you might put down 'Johan Schmit' (a false name)?  Well....that's the curious thing.  No one is asking for a passport or ID card.  They simply trust you to be honest.
