[Leica] the new normal

[Peter Dzwig]

We were talking to friends in the Eatt Highlands last night who were
saying that the issue for them is getting things, but apparently the
delivery services are working well. As they are having to self-isolate
because they are caring for someone who is very vulnerable they need it.

For those with seasonal incomes in the Highlands or those who live
directly off the land this will be a very testing time and the knock-on
effects will be potentially quite dramatic.

I don't know what the Scottish govt is doing though.

In the UK Johnson has said that we should not travel or go to bars / eateries, this means that only those with 'pandemic insurance' are covered, he has to force the bars etc to close to let them get their business continuity insurance payouts.   Around here many businesses are small and seasonal, we are all coming out after living for months on money made during the season and need Easter traffic to boost the bank accounts - that is not going to happen....
