So, today I got a call informing of my 14-day quarantine that ends tomorrow, caused by someone who tested positive putting my name in the "met them in the last X days" column. You cannot own a fucking cellphone number without showing a valid ID with a biometric picture, so I can't fathom why this hasn't been automated. And on top of it, my employer knew about it all along, so I guess it's just a matter of priorities, not means or wants. Especially since they were given my number along with the name. So, between acquaintances, my work, and whichever entity is organizing/supervising this stuff, everyone involved dropped the ball. What if I was one of those near-unsymptomatic cases? Between this negligent lag and the unlikely event of getting my first shot before October, it's not getting any less dispiriting. Frankly, at this point, I think of withdrawing and isolating myself even further.
