I’ll play devil’s advocate.
Problems with releasing detailed location data:
- Deceptive, b/c people move around
- Some slack off if no cases in their town
- Some flee hotspots to areas with no cases
- Journos will mash locations with census data, seek patterns re ethnicity etc https://twitter.com/robshaw_vansun/status/1247288310495506434
One issue I can see with city-by-city data is how to characterize the populations in unincorporated areas, from UBC to rural areas or gulf islands. If there was a move to more granular data I'd go regional district level, not by munis.
