I know. My conspiracy theory is this is also a way to see what businesses play ball when ordered to shut down. Anything that's not a grocery or gas station that didn't close as "suggested" is now on the naughty list to be forcibly removed when necessary.
Good point, never thought about that. There most certainly is a database for tracking that on the government networks somewhere.
Well, your employer is still submitting payroll and income taxes, so the IRS has that information at least.
Yeah, we are essential blah blah whatever they call it. But yeah if people are getting paid the irs would be an easy dataset to scrape to get the data.
