Shop Windows in Lockdown

I thought I'd do a collage to capture some of the shop windows and trading arrangements in lockdown. The fishmongers is so small it serves people from the door and I think that might have to be the case for most shops in Holt when restrictions are eased, given the need for keeping 2m apart. One of the chip shops is now offering a call & collect service and the Chinese takeaway is to reopen at the end of April. 

Day 41 / Day 33 of Full Lockdown (for my record only)
UK deaths up 813 to 20,319 with 18,084 of these being in England (this exceeds the level of deaths referred to by the Chief Scientific Advisor on 17th Mar as being a 'good outcome' even without the additional ONS community deaths and is only 51 days since the first CV death), Italy up 415 to 26,384, Spain up 378 to 22,902. For population size, one of the biggest outbreaks appears to be in Belgium, but that is said to be because they are reporting all potential CV deaths not just those in hospital. In Europe some countries say that half of deaths come from care homes. Global deaths now exceed 200,000. What I would have unfortunately expected is potentially catastrophic outbreaks in Africa and India, but as yet this hasn't happened. 

Increasing calls for the 'cunning plan' for coming out of lockdown to be outlined. The WHO says that those who've recovered may not be protected from future infection. Use of cars increases (including idiots using quieter roads as racetracks).
