So How's Life In The Uk?

[ChrisG]

I'm in the Netherlands, all the pubs opened a month ago, I think the only thing not open now is the brothels.  Masks needed on public transport but nowhere else.  Supposed to keep 1.5 meters separation and some places are good at ensuring it but some some don't seem to care at all.  Only 2 Covid deaths in the last week though so.

 

Interesting that our lockdown didn't seem be as tight as the UK, but I think the key thing was that we locked down about 10 days earlier, with less cases at the time.

 

We were on holiday last week in NL and  it was noticeable how few tourists there were about, places like Giethoorn where we were are usually rammed with japanese/chinese tourists but was nearly empty.  We live near the beach in a popular tourist town and the beach was looking a bit busier today but it's all domestic and German tourists.  

 

They only lifted the quarantine for people travelling from the UK last week so we can now go back, but not planning to until Septermber.  Hopefully there's a not a massive second wave and you're all locked down again by then.
