Everyone is trying to work out the conflicting information that' being given out.
You cannot go out in the fresh air but you can cram yourself into a sweaty overcrowded supermarket and fight over the last toilet roll.
You can go and stand in a Bank with possibility of catching germs but cannot sit on an open terrace but you can have a takeaway delivered .and the biggest contradiction was yesterday in Town when we could shop on the ground floor but not allowed on the first floor .
I am all for containment but there is so much conflicting info .
I am wondering who is going to pick up the staggering bill for all this disruption when things return to normal.I do wonder how many of the smaller businesses will survive ?

Yes Orangepicker.
I am a little bewildered with the conflicting rules .
All bars , restaurants and venues closed at midnight on Friday.
Yet at 9.30am yesterday morning , I would estimate at least 400 people in Mercadona, San Luis.
Both front and rear car parks were full .
I only went in to top up on water , but spent 25 minutes in the checkout queue.

Many small businesse's here are struggling.
And I fear this 15 day closure , will be the "kiss of death" for some.

Just to let you know...I went to consum in campoamor today and mostly not lacking anything on the shelves. Bread meat fish etc veg and more importantly wine in good supply.

There was maybe 8 cars in the car park and maybe 7 people in the store.

Mercadona in la zenia was the same. Virtually no difference to normal other than hardly any people.
