So officially I can leave my home tommorrow. However as I have posted I have been travelling to Spain for around three weeks now.
Yesterday I posted that I had only seen one child out in the street
Today none despite travelling through the suburbs and centre of two cities both on my outward and return journey.

Re: END OF LOCKDOWN - SCHEDULE?
What has amazed me is the total silence from the churches here. No imagination to connect their flock via modern technology. There may be a few exceptions, hopefully, but I'd have thought that people likely to enter a church would have enough common sense to keep a respectful distance from each other.
I sincerely believe that this crisis is God's wake up call for humanity (since most countries are affected) to heed the warning. There are newspaper articles saying nothing will be the same again, but will it? I'm unfortunately too cynical to think we'll convert for the better.
Will those businesses that pay peanuts to staff caring for the elderly suddenly pay more?
Will budget airlines announce 'cheap' flights once more and to hell with the pollution?
Will there be an end to all the corruption endemic in Spain?
I'll be more than happy to be proved wrong.

It seems that churches will be able to open but with a max 30% of their normal capacity.

Re: END OF LOCKDOWN - SCHEDULE?
Yes, you make good points folks. Surely we all pray for changes that will make the world a healthier, fairer, safer place to live.
But we need to make our feelings and thoughts count so that positive changes do get implemented and the idiot politicians and greedy oligarchs are made to change to benefit all.
Good lockdown lifting for me as living in a small village I have a degree more freedom than city dwellers - sorry folks!
