That sounds very differnt from how things are in denmark.

Appart from hand sanitisers required used, before entery, and also after leaveing shops, and keeping good distances.... its almost like normal here.
Supermarkets are still fully stocked with everything ect, there arnt limits on what or how much you can buy. Also yes, they want card/plastic, instead of money in hand.

Yes night clubs/pubs are shut down, thats just good common sense.
Restaurants, still have take out here.... and dropping food at doorstep is smart.

You sound like you need that Corona beer more than the other guy.
Did you expect things to just go on as if absolutely nothing was going on, mid a pandemic?

40-60% of the worlds population might get this, and it'll kill untold numbers of the elderly.
Lots of young people will get scaring on their lunges, and be marked forever by it.

Our gov is run by multiple bodies, which means there was likely some skittish decisions made, once the case went from 1 to 5 in a matter of days. We only have one hospital, one airport and 1 main port (2 others for fishers), so our gov probably thought they had contamination containment sorted, but apparently not. Old folk here get easily fearful of even a boat delay (for imported foods), so I imagine they wigged out hard when they heard about those 5 cases, and probably pleaded to the gov via Facebook to do something (one of our MHK's is actually talking to us on FB, getting us all to participate in some online friendly quiz, which sounds daft, but it'll keep the old ones busy indoors). 

I'm just ticked because I recently lost my job, then this lockdown happens, making it increasingly hard to find new work, when no one wants to accept at this point in time, as well as my bank flat out closing because of the virus, and no one wants to accept cash in hand for anything (save for the petrol station). combine all that and the stupid 6ft apart law (you can actually be arrested on sight for breaking it), and it becomes something irksome. I'm just used to popping up to the store to grab some cider and the like, but that's changed for now.

I expected things to go smoothly, when we had just one confirmed case, nearly 2 weeks ago, but now, eh, I'm not so sure, but I'm gonna have to stay indoors and just avoid that hysteria. 

Also yeah, our island is composed of a lot of old people. Out of the 7 cases, one is fatal, and it's an elderly person.

You know what really sucks about this though?. I've got asthma, and I've not had to use an inhaler for years, but I know damn well that virus will definitely take harder toll on me, than most young folk out there.
