Yeh very similar things are happening here. There is no kind of active lockdown here but restaurants and pubs are all completely empty. Most of my friends who work in those places have been laid off.
The only retails firms who will survive this are the ones who already have legal monopolies, which is a depressing thought. Who needs a highstreet full of shops when you can just have 30 Tescos?!

Yeah let's merge Brexit threads with this one and make it more interesting.

Yes, I would prefer a whole shutdown. I personally think that a total shutdown is inevitable at some point (the growth has always been and is still exponential with an average of 31% increase per day, which means it doubles every 2.6 days, gets 10x worse every 8.5 days, 100x worse every 17 days etc) and I don't see the point in putting it off. China, Japan and South Korea had great success with it. I understand that culturally it would be far harder to enforce a total shutdown in western countries, but I think we are approaching desperate times. It seems the government is waiting until the situation has got sufficiently bad that the population is willing to isolate themselves voluntarily.
I'm considering not going into work tomorrow. I am a teacher and I had a look on our system today - turns out most of the children of doctors in the school have been pulled out. Lots of the other children who've been pulled are kids of scientists. I don't really trust the government's judgement on any of this, they didn't get where they are by studying science.
