Last night I was forced to use a ballpoint pen that a bunch of people had used before me without sanitising. I really didn't get it.

Every place I've been has a pen and paper and hand sanitiser next to it so you can sanitise before/after.

If the place you went to doesn't have the sanitiser part then they're probably breaching their public health obligations. You can ask them to put out sanitiser or report a breach.

As an aside, I'm impressed in NZ that there's a central place to report issues but then issues are dispatched to the right agency to follow up. That makes it super easy to report issues.

I just went to the shopping mall near me for the first time since it opened. I notice it was essentially random as to which stores required you to 'sign in' and how they did it. Some had nothing at all.

The 'digital diary' app [0] sounds fairly innocuous.
