Which lockdown restrictions should be lifted?

Diy stores without having the register.
It is a waste of time, who will police the register in any case.
And takeaway places.
 
1. Allow sales of Cigarettes
2. Allow sale of everything else that is still available in stores that are open. (at the least until current non essential stock items are sold out)
3. Allow restaurant/takeaway deliveries
4. Give online stores/deliveries more leeway to encourage a move towards this.

I would add cycling (alone) and opening of hardware stores. Surely they can make a difference between wine and liquor. Wine with my evening meal is healthy.
 
The ban on hardware stores should be lifted, the lockdown should still allow us to continue with our lives, and I agree with the idea to slowly introducing small businesses back to normal in stages, so that the lockdown don't add further stress on the economy as it is.

My local mica was open from yesterday, luckily I went immediately as from today they have the dumb register.
Got a few things that I needed to add some more outside lights
 
clothing as we need to stock up for winter electricals as well we need heaters alot of these electricals you might need to replace not repair when they breakdown
 
People are going to end up with heart disease and high blood pressure when they have to get back to work. Being locked down at home for 5 weeks with the fear of stepping outside will only be bad for their physical and mental health.
 
Allow the sale of cigarettes and household items already stocked in shops that are open for essential items

I Agree ! Sale of cigarettes, alcohol etc. Must be permanently banned of course (it's the people who smoke, drink etc. who cause us so/too much of Daily lifelong suffering !!) :-( All substance addicts must use this lockdown time to permanently Quit their addictions....!!!

Look at the average age of the people that have succumbed to the virus:- between 60 and 80 years.
WHO said that 80% of the people getting infected with the virus will experience relatively mild to no symptoms.
So where is the logic to lock up all the economically active people, that may experience mild to no symptoms, to protect the ones at risk?
Should we not rather do all in our power to protect the ones at risk?
Quarantine them to protect them while letting the economy run?
How many people will die from poverty-related incidents as a consequence of this general lockdown?

Therefore all general restrictions must be lifted immediately and replaced with other, more targeted measures to protect the people at risk.
 
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Game is now selling printers online. They're calling printers essential items now and state they will deliver during lockdown.
 
Cancel the lockdown forthright and completely!
It is of no use since a big percentage of the population do not comply.
Lockdown will cause more deaths due to poverty than what it strives to save.
All it can accomplish is to slightly delay the wave of infections while wrecking the economy.
Deaths ascribed to Covid-19 are mostly due to pre-existing diseases hastened on by the pandemic.
Vulnerable people will voluntarily self-isolate till vaccine becomes available and medical services/hospitals can cope again.
 
Restrictions on health care facilities to operate to their full capacity ie Physios ect and then one that I recently came across is the restrictions on animal healthcare now during lockdown ie certain procedures are not allowed during lockdown
