Spain enters official nationwide lockdown.
So does France from midnight.
Looks like everyone is starting to take this shit seriously. Except maybe UK... I donno if it is because they are doing good or ignoring the problem.

There is a science called "complex system theory".
The basic outline: If you respond to
complex problems (like an exponentially spreading virus outbreak) with a
simple solution, it is inevitable to
fail.
There are many, many examples in history.
EDIT: And Boris is as simple as simple can be.
So you go shopping to the brick and mortar shop: it's a mess because you cannot simply go in: as a security measure only one few person can enter, so access is reduced, hence big queues. Also while queuing you must stay distant. Result are very long queues outside food supermarkets (in a sense , now I understand those who raided shelves a few weeks back).
Something like this:

I live in a city, similar queues, little bit less daunting scenario.
The weather also makes the virus stay alive on surfaces longer. Man, i hope you all get out of this very mess soon and healthy, i even told the kids that the annual vacation in Italy is likely to be suspended for 2020
