If there's one way to describe how much concern the people of Eastry appear, on the surface, to have for the spread of coronavirus I think it'd be: zero fucks given.
Life really is continuing as normal. Traffic, people, business... it all seems to be running as normal. The social clubs, children's groups and church services are now all cancelled. The church remains unlocked though in case anyone thinks some prayers might help (spoilers: they won't).
Today it was announced that after Friday all schools will remain closed indefinitely except for the very vaguely worded "vulnerable children and children of necessary staff". They still need to turn up as normal on Monday so assume the buses etc. will continue.
Perhaps next week Eastry might notice the pandemic.
My brother, a police officer, is reporting he feels ill which isn't good at all. Fingers crossed it is either nothing or it doesn't do any harm.
