[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are not asking for kids names. We do want to know what teams so we can know whether or not we played against or at the same field as them before or after. Just want to be able to contact trace and monitor. Thats not to invasive of anyones privacy is it? [/quote]

Yes it is invasive, It's also ridiculous.

Why on earth do you need to know if you played on the same field?

The odds of your kids catching a virus from the field beacuse somebody who later tested positive was on the field before your child are negligible.

Not the PP but I agree the team should be identified along with the time frame. Keeping the community safe is the most important thing.[/quote]

Out of curiosity, do you think anybody positively tested should be publicly posted, along with name, address, work or school location?  If not, why not?[/quote]

No just as an employee shouldn't be identified but the place of employment should.[/quote]

But then people presume everybody there is positive. So that is actually not useful information. [/quote]

Not true thats how its reported regularly. X number of DC firefighters test positive but not who they were.
A player for Colorado Rapids but not a name
An employee at the local ABC #123 store but not their name.

So just say Potomac soccer club. Why isn’t that enough. And if it isn’t enough, why is a single employee at an ABC store enough?  The question is why you need the information and how you intend to use it. That determines its utility. You still haven’t explained the use of knowing team vs club vs individual vs every team or club the team played. [/quote]

I was a previous poster who said that our team had their first positive. Every kid tested, every kid negative. Practice three times a week and games. Luckily there was a break in games so we didn’t have to notify another team - although I don’t know if that is protocol. Saying which team is enough. There are protocol put forward by the clubs and state/youth soccer associations. 
The risk is low. Not minuscule but low. 
There is also the economic side of travel soccer and if you want the kids to have sports when/if this is over then you have to let them return safely, now. These orgs cannot hold on for years without income. I don’t understand how the public expects business owners or non-profits to continue to operate while shut down for years. If you want something to return to - you have to maintain it.  Safely. That is what most clubs are doing. [/quote]
