it was same with us. Schools are closed for 10 days, but weather is great and kids were out whole day. I trained with my kid outside few times. The logic is that they mix too much on playgrounds and can then transmit it to the older ones. I don't know about old ones and shopping tbh, guess they went that most have someone to do it for them, we still live a lot in our parents houses etc.
Like a lot of stuff here it is implemented but I'm not sure how effective it is going to be. Nobody here can get enough food to even last a week if they are lucky as there is too little on the shelves. I have no idea how these bulk buyers are doing it, there must be a skill. As a result people have to continually go into numerous shops everyday to try and get food so there is more and more unnecessary contact. Older people with no family to help can't stay in or they will starve. It is a myth there is an army of smiling volunteers knocking on doors offering help. Many are not on social media so have no chance of sourcing out help. Aside from my immediate neighbours which is maybe ten houses maximum I have no idea who even lives on my road never mind neighborhood and I'm sure many people are the same
Countless teenagers and kids in shopping centres and smaller shops adds to the problem. I was in Aldi last week and a small girl with her mother was coughing everywhere, no hand over her mouth. The mother said nothing. At least when they were in school vulnerable people had a window of opportunity to shop, now they don't unless they ban kids from them.
The government are trusting people to be responsible and while some are many aren't, you only had to look at the moron's boasting about being in the pub last night to see that. Unless forced to comply many will just carry on as normal.
