We are starting our first day of total lock down. Cafés, restaurants, clubs, or public meeting places are all closed down. All schools are closed and only open for children of people who must work, such as Doctors, nurses, medical, fire workers etc. Supermarkets, petrol stations, chemists and the "needed" shops are open. People have to stay at least one meter apart and respect each others space. Office workers are told to work from home.
Germany has closed all borders except with Holland ( dont understand why ).
We are waiting for an announcement that payments of rents, mortgage, taxes, electric, gas etc will be put on hold. How that will work is anybodies guess.
I am able to work in my workshop but without public contact. I have no idea how it will work when UPS deliver to me but we will find a way. Ive set up an intercom on my door so I can talk with my customers. Then , if they have a sensible order and I know them, will I let them in. They will have to stay at least a metre away form me. No hand shakes , nothing. Other orders will be by telephone or email.
Scary times ahead. Lets hope this lockdown works and the virus burns itself out.
