I just wish some contact tracing information showing locations of these cases could be accessible to maybe indicate where these people have been recently.

It's certainly not time to panic but it's not comforting just as we expand the reopening of restaurants, etc and a large percentage of people don't bother to protect their fellow residents by wearing a mask even in busy stores. For those of us who are at higher risk for whatever reason, people who don't bother to wear masks while in stores or churches to protect others in case of a cough or sneeze will compel us to continue staying home.
This is how a county in Northern Michigan is using Contact Tracing to let people know exactly where people that have tested positive have been and even the times they were at these places so you know if you might have been exposed.
Why can’t The Villages do something like this? They are not naming the people so no privacy rights have been violated. Just giving people a heads up!
