Into town immediately after the video conference. Everyone, almost, practicing social distancing. Sainsburys giving out free flowers, presumably unsold Mothers' Day ones. Thanked them nicely. Put them in a jug when I got home. Small daffodils. Nice - cheered me up.

My coronavirus 'degrees of separation' poll on the forum is showing a steady rise in people reporting a '1 remove' connection, ie an acquaintance who's got it. Though 63% still have no connection at all.

I gathered during the evening that Creepton had announced the expected new rules - all non-essential shops to close, no-one to go out except to the remaining shops, etc. The one consolation is that he dislikes having to make that announcement to me just as much as I dislike hearing it from him. But we both have to put up with it if we don't want to be very shortly plunged into Survivors. (And there I'd have the advantage, because I bet he's only seen the remake if he's seen either of them).
