Only the last week has shown a bit of an uptake in "non-essential" retail.

I confidently placed new orders for stock last week.

But there is still a very deep debt hole to crawl out of.

I am tired of the media crap too.  First it's masks don't make a  
difference, then it's they do make a difference. First it's no more than 5  
people in one location, then it's 10, then it's one at a time.

I see people wearing masks when they are the only one in a car or the only  
one for meters around on a sidewalk.

Gradually people are realizing that if they have now been isolating for  
the last 2 months and have not travelled outside the community and have  
been quite healthy all that time, then it is perfectly fine to not bother  
with a mask  - and staying the recommended distance from the next person  
is good enough.
