There's a big difference between HAVING data at this level of #granularity, and PUBLISHING it.
Providing #age, #sex and street #address is not "#anonymised"; more like mildly #deidentified - and almost certainly still #PersonalData.

Had we been #testing properly since the outset, we might've done something different. As it is, simply *publishing* #cases (that we know...) at #building level would achieve very little.
