I was already to mention a couple, but the link lists just about all there are.

Yeah, not trying to hijack thread, but a good chance for users to express how they are affected by the Covid.

Not a problem. Stay well.

Here in Kentucky, our non-essential stores are ordered to close tomorrow at 8 pm, so we'll either be doing some sort of curbside service or closing up for a while.  Guess we'll see how that goes.

Looking forward to watching some stuff, if nothing else.

I can work from home luckily.

The borders to France have been closed for over a week now and since last week there's a the restriction on what you can do outside your house / apt. You can only go to the doctor, to buy groceries or for a walk (with a dog).

[b]All non-essential stores have closed (Somehow, home-improvement stores have been classified as essential).

You are allowed to take a walk but you can only do it with members of your household or one single other person (to avoid loneliness). And you are to keep a safety distance of 1.5-2 meters (5-7 foot) to any other person or group when being outside or in the store.

As I've been a loner for all my life, it doesn't bother me all that much except that now I actually buy food for a week where my usual routine would have been to go to the store after work and buy stuff for one or two days.

As I'm living in a small town surrounded by fields I can go for a walk for 2 hours and maybe encounter 5 people in total.

Same here.
I think the reasoning is that if someone owns a home and something breaks/fails that one can go and get a part and fix/replace it.
Surely if someones toilet stopped working you'd want to get it fixed asap and not have that for two weeks.

Now what is weird, one city here in the US has determined that liquor stores are essential and can stay open. Now that I don't get.

By the way, like that picture of the defunct railroad track.

Sweden hasn't gone into total lockdown (yet), but boomers like me (70+) are asked to stay home and have as little contact as possible.

So for introverts like me it's pretty much business as usual. 

When I'm out and about these days it feels like I've blundered onto the set of a 28 Days Later reboot, and that's even before the new movement restrictions that were introduced in the UK last night.

I caught the 17:30 train from London Paddington to Bristol last night, after the four previous trains had all been cancelled.  At the best of times this train is normally packed and more often than not I've ended up standing on it.  Yesterday there were three other people in my carriage.  I have to confess that there is a small part of me that is actually enjoying some of the changes, as I spend the majority of my day on trains or buses.  (I also travelled the entire route of a bus yesterday between two Tesco stores, and not a single other person got on.  I caught a Docklands Light Railway train from Gallions Reach in East London and the entire, very large pedestrian area outside the station was disserted, except for a few cars driving past.  I seemed to be the only passenger waiting for a train at Milton Keyes (population almost 200,000) Central in the afternoon.  I could go on.  However, my trip across London in the petri dish that calls itself the Underground was in a carriage that was about half full; I guess people in London think they're too important to stay at home.)

(For the record I'm self-employed and spend most of my time moving food home delivery vehicles between stores, and stores and garages, hence the reason I'm still working and out and about.)

Stay safe and in good spirits people.

I love the train track picture too!

This is the old train station. Unfortunately the pub seems to have closed and has taken the old sign with it:



The station has always been the end of the line but when I moved here in 2005 it still had the old tracks right in front of it. Now they removed them for about 400 meters (1/4 mile) for the new housing project that started a few years ago:



But we still have a bit of memory right in front of the station:
