Newest rules here, go into effect net stage of returning rights to citizens:

"All restaurants that offer table service must keep a daily log of customers, including contact information and listing when they arrived. The logs will be used for potential contact tracing and must be kept by the restaurant for 30 days."

Cut and paste. No politics. Fact.

Back in junior high (when I was studying under Aristotle ...), a social studies teacher taught us:

You can have freedom, and you can have security. You can increase one by decreasing the other, and vice versa. It all depends on your needs, and on the circumstances.

I'd choose order over chaos just about every time. Nothing remains the same.

I can take care of security. Order does its best to remove that ability.

All it takes is one "Typhoid Mary" to infect many others.
I'm in good shape but I'm in my 80s and if I catch this thing, I'm probably a goner.

Apparently there was an overwhelming negative reaction from restaurant owners, and the gummint is now re-thinking that.

Just the one, hence the overwhelming complaints. Folks got tired of catching their own fish through a hole in the ice and cooking outside.

What, you didn't know?

Sort of like, how many galleys on a submarine?

You're thinking galleries, as in art. Only find them on boomers (missile boats) which employ part-time sailors, who have to keep their art appreciation up at 4-7 knot patrol speed.
heck, one of them even had a piano!
US Thomas A. Edison:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thomas_A._Edison

During the construction of Thomas A. Edision, the construction captain requested that a Steinway piano be placed aboard. This piano remained on board the submarine for 22 years (1961–1983) up until her decommissioning. The Steinway piano is the only example of a full-sized piano ever installed on a U.S. submarine conducting nuclear deterrent patrols.

Half a set, since they are only at sea half the time.
