No worries mate, it’s for your own safety and that of the community.

Seriously, we keep hearing Germany has done really with containment. Has your lockdown/stay at home been relaxed yet?

Lockdown to me has been like any day, we've been allowed out but not many go, you do see groups about that usually do things how they're meant to be done, like groups of 3-4 people sat together they're keeping the said distance from each other, 2 people are usually partners so you cant really do much against them, and the OsnaTeam and Polizie are out in force making sure things are how they should be!..

Skate park over the road from me has the red and white tape around it so anyone found on there will get a warning and moved on, but names are taken and if they're found to do anything else after that they've been registered and will be fined!..

I say lockdown for me has been like any other day, I go out shopping but we have to have masks, I go 4-5 times a day with the dog, she ain't got a clue what the problem is and has to go out!..

Only thing that's bad is not seeing my Daughter for the last 5-6 weeks, and the last time I was with friends was the 13 April!..

But, have to get by like everyone else!..

Lockdown in this area isn't to bad, but different parts of Germany are stricter than others!..

"last time I was with friends was the 13 April!.."

I think I've written that on a couple of comments, goes to show how fecked lockdown is making me!..

Last time I was with friends was the 13 March for the supposed to be last game of the German season!.

So no easing in Germany yet?

Jonny, they've let Hairdressers and some other small places open up from today!..

Some youngsters have returned to school, but that's only with a few people per class, I think with the teacher just 6 people and distance and masks are the order of the day, the same as shopping and anything needed for normal living!..

Banks are open but mine has just one Lady behind the counter and only 1 door open to see her, so, when anyone needs to talk to her or has problems they'll need to bring a little time with them!..

They are slowly opening up again!..

Interesting.

Our banks supermarkets and gas / petrol stations have remained open throughout this.

Jonny, so have ours, but you could only go to the money machines in the Banks, they opened them up Monday but with only one person allowed contact with one member of staff on duty!..

When they were shut you could make appointments over the phone and they opened the door to let you in but only with an appointment!..

I've just got back from a walk with the dog, and they've opened the Skatepark over the road from me today, and the kids playground, so, they are opening up slowly!..
