So if I went out to eat and got sick, I might think I'm performing a public-service by reporting it. Then you come back to me and say "Hey your report was weird, go get some lab-tests done"? That seems like a situation which would deter most reporters.

Once we receive and moderate your report. It will go to public health. There are many paths it can take from there. We don't require lab tests, that is just a potential scenario, most common where there is either an important (deadly) pathogen potentially involved, or if it appears to be potentially a larger outbreak, and it is a pathogen that can't be detected in the facility. It's not necessarily ever a requirement. What we offer to consumers is that if you speak up there is potential that your report can make a difference.
