No!

@Butterbear86 couldn’t agree more!

There has to be a balance between protecting people and having a viable economy for everyone to come back to when this is over!

Yes, definitely. Plus an order for everybody to return to their PRIMARY address with immediate effect.

I’m in Cornwall, and nobody is even giving us a chance here

This could be a problem. Some people live on 10 month holiday parks all year round and go and visit relatives for the other two months or go abroad.
I was renting one literally just a month ago after I sold my house 200 miles away and bought my new one three weeks ago. I've moved 200 miles to work in a new NHS trust.
They have just shut that park down and all the renters have been told to go home. If I'd still been there I would have been homeless in my car with my cat.
Equally there are plenty of people living there as a second home.

I used to be fiercely against ID cards but we need photo ID for so much nowadays. Even just getting concert tickets. Doesn't the government have all our info anyway? NI numbers, NHS records, HMRC, DWP. They can track us (if they wanted to) through contactless payments, phone records, bank transactions, supermarkets and other shops have a lot of detail about us, Google, Facebook, Skype, they all know pretty much everything about us. So really for me ID cards becomes an issue of poverty. Those who can afford photo ID (drivers or passport) and then those who can't - and are therefore faced with additional barriers to access sometimes essential services.

Yes but you have a choice to use cash, not use Google (other non tracking search engines are available), not use Skype.
And I had no valid passport for years, and only a paper licence with no picture and an VERY old address on it. You can use other forms of proof of address etc if you need to. In the digital age I think a lot of people have just accepted their lack of privacy, but you should have a choice.
