We considered a lot of things, including what armour to wear going to the shops. Then we decided to just do it all online and maybe travel to the shops to observe the behaviour of people.
The streets were crowded indeed. As we walked by we thought we would see desperation but instead we saw optimism. People seemed happy to be out and shopping to buy gifts for their loved ones.
We got some takeout food and ate it on public seating. People passing by with shopping bags looked at us with longing. It looked like they were longing to eat in restaurants again but that would have to be for another day.
After observing other people we went home to extend our own lockdown for a few more days, but we felt a little better about the world.
