It adds up with what we know about viruses in general, eventually there is a less deadly mutation, and it becomes the dominant one, leading to an eventual downturn in the disease.

The reason for this? A less deadly mutation doesnt kill the host as quickly or as often, and living hosts are much better at transferring a virus to others than dead hosts, hence the less deadly mutation spreads quicker.
Thats the same as what I've been told or read, if it does mutate
 
What essential shops are open?
Shops that are exempt from the Government's ban are food retailers, pharmacies, hardware stores, corner shops, petrol stations, shops in hospitals, post offices, banks, newsagents, laundrettes and pet shops.
Said all that.

Cake shops and a curry? Essential?

Ok.
 
I visited the cheese shop last Tuesday (I think) while passing through the village. While they said footfall was done, they're struggling to cope with online demands.

If they can safely be open and not have to rely on state aid (furlough scheme and loans), I have no issue with them being open and contributing to the economy.

The guidance is that the shops can remain open as long as they sell basic necessities or support key work (Screwfix etc.), and food is obviously a necessity.

Or is that @davek believes that the multi-national supermarkets should reap the bumper profits, while small businesses go down the pan at the tax-payers expense?
No. I believe everyone should be disciplined and try and see this virus off...still, if a free born Englishman really really needs their pastie or latte then they must get it.

Bon appetite.
