I think there is a lot more that could be closed. For example, The Council have confirmed that the fireworks shop can continue to sell based on click and collect, despite lines of customers appearing outside on 5th November, 24th and 30th and 31st December. Essential fireworks, innit? I think there are a lot of non- essential retail “click & collect” which simply generate outdoor movement that could be closed by law.

Yep, this. Some examples. Our library is open for click and collect. That’s a couple of unrelated staff working in the same indoor space, interacting with the public and handling items which have been handled by potentially infected public. Then handling new items which they pass over to new members of the public. Argos next door to that open for orders at the door and click and collect. Again, unrelated members of staff working in the same indoor space and interacting with the public, who weren’t in the last lockdown. I didn’t go any further into town but I expect lots of shops are doing this. Same goes for scores of local food places which are now open. And judging by the queues of people using them outside, people simply can’t do without their Dominoes or KFC.
All this is generating movement and interaction between strangers which wasn’t there during lockdown 1.

Surely elite sport can’t continue running for much longer? Even if the numbers are low it sends out a significant message.
Besides nurseries and construction I’m not sure what else could realistically close?
Maybe non essential warehouses and deliveries. Perhaps food takeaway only, like coffee shops?
