We are asked to dine early by the restaurants to escape the curfew. We should be ‘more like the northern Europeans’ and change our habits for an early dinner.
It is our duty and responsibility, in short, to save the restaurants and bars from the current crisis.
Programmes on the TV show the plight of various industries. The flower sellers aren’t selling flowers; the tour-buses are going broke; the museums are all but empty and the open-air market people have lots of over-ripe fruit and no one to sell them to.
But all this is no one’s fault, or if it is, then it’s the fault of the politicians not daring to be stricter with the populace.
It’s probably fair to say that we are more likely to catch the coronavirus in a bus or a bus-station, an underground train or an airport. But, whether it’s a restaurant, a tour-bus or a cinema (who wouldn’t take his mask off in the dark?); you can count me out for the time being.
