Context is everything. The government is requiring that you give your personal information to eat at a restaurant. The government is requiring that a private place of business obtain this information and retain it in order to provide it to the government. I've never eaten out under those conditions, to my knowledge. And I won't eat at a restaurant under those conditions.

We will have a new baby some time this week or next so I don't know if I will eat out any time soon anyway. But if it were to be in Orleans, I'd use a pseudonym and pay cash.

This is quite simply going too far. I can see making a request that people participate in such a practice. But to make it into a requirement, even if unenforceable? That's just wrong.

There is literally zero chance you haven’t given up far more of your privacy to private companies(or the government) than what is being asked of you here. I mean I presume you are using an ISP or cell phone correct? Which now has the legal authority to sell your data to the highest bidder(presuming they meet some incredibly arbitrary and meaningless standards).

To finally draw a line when this, by all accounts, will only be relevant or used for keeping your fellow human beings alive is all kinds of messed up. I mean what is the government going to do with your restaurant habits for a few months? You think they go over the line after this is over? Get out int he streets and then vote them out.
