Be careful out there it seems safe but that won't be the first time people felt that way with an infectious disease.
We're fortunate in where we live and how we live but there's no way that we'll return to life before coronavirus unless an effective vaccine is available and we've both been inocculated.

Re: Coming out...
For anyone really concerned about contracting it .. I'd say stay indoors for now , if you can.What with BLM demonstrations and 'non essential' shops and businesses getting back to work there might well be a peak on the cards
I believe Beijing are suffering a peak and South Korea's R number has gone above one and they're dealing with a second wave. This virus ain't going to go away soon.
Around my neck of the woods, when I've been out it seems the 2m distancing is getting forgotten a bit ... now there's increasing amounts of traffic pedestrians are having difficulties if there's no handy driveway to nip in or they can't nip into the road. Either you're stuck standing there waiting for a gap in the traffic, or you just nod at each other apologetically and nip past each other.
I'd ..
Stay at Home, Protect Yourself, Save Lives.

However, I shall soon need petrol for the car and am quite worried about going to a petrol garage at the moment.
Garages are very quiet now due to lack of use so probably safer than the supermarkets. My one also has no unleaded and hasn't had for some days now, luckily my car is a diesel.

I hope there is unleaded at my garage!

Me too!
I went out on Wednesday for the first time since the end of March. Only to the Post Office as I had a small parcel to post (home made face masks...) and then I saw nobody was in our butcher's so popped in there. I don't feel brave enough to go to a supermarket yet though as Mr Glanny is still shielding. I used the hand sanitiser in the butchers, I was in there chatting away for 20 minutes!
Our butcher would talk the hind leg off a cow and I was the only customer
