Mistral:
Here all the restaurants are close, but many choose to do boxes or take out for their clients. We didn’t when the restaurants gonna open again, because things change everyday here.

Most restaurants here with drive-thru or takeout never closed down (just can't dine in), but our governor announced restaurants can open up outdoor seating starting next Friday, so I imagine those places will be crazy. I'm going to stay away until it calms down. I did hear Starbucks drive-thru lines have been crazy since they opened back up, as most of them around here were closed initially.

Restaurants here opened up their patios a couple weeks ago - I have yet to see anyone actually sitting on one and I drive by quite a number of them daily. They also opened up golf courses a couple weeks ago so my in-laws are happy LOL. My brother in law is a doctor and he has basically been in the hospital, sleeping or golfing these days.
Our Premier announced today that schools will be going back a few weeks early to make up for lost time and it's not clear if teachers will be paid extra, or how they're even going to manage that. There was something mentioned about them losing their PD days which is ridiculous. I have a lot of friends who are in education here and they are pretty upset by this decision. Very bad judgement by the government for a lot of reasons. I hope they reconsider after all the pushback they're going to get.

Some restaurants here have started a limited delivery service, but I think they are being overwhelmed with demand as I hear there are long waits for the food. I'd rather wait until they re-open and things have calmed down.
Steph, they should pay them extra if they are having to go back early. It's not clear what's happening with schools here either though. England are going back next month but not sure about Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
mare:
Pretty much all the states here are in the process of opening while some of the dumber states (pro Trump ones) are seeing their number of cases rise again. I give it about two more weeks before we are right back where am we started only this time orange Hitler won’t close anything down.
NY was talking about doing the same thing. Starting the school year early, especially if it has to start online. This is all insane!
