UK enters almost-lockdown: Brits urged to keep calm and carry on – as long as it doesn't involve leaving the house

And use food delivery services where you can.”

Who is going to pay for millions of home delivered meals, I wonder. Also where are the extra numbers of delivery people going to come from?

Spain has been locked down for a week and a half and we have just had 15 more days added, construction is still going on, so professional builders merchants are open but DIY stores are not. Some other parts of industry are also still in action but in general we are only allowed to shop for food and medications. Dog walking is permitted but exercise anywhere is not, none of these regulations anywhere are well thought out but that is in the main because they are ad hoc responses to a changing situation.

Oddly, during the cold war Civil Defence had disaster plans for bio warfare or pandemics as well as WWIII but apparently once the cold war had finished it seems disasters were no longer likely, hence the patchwork regulations each country is introducing.
