We started stocking up beforehand , so we were good.
I continued working during it all. The only time I wore a mask is if I went into a nursing home or hospital.
Driving around the city all the time, I saw how it progressed. Nobody but road and construction working, downtown a ghost town.
This went on for months. And finally, as we ease up on the lock downs, a couple of deaths and boom !,
Protests all across the country.
Now , I am for peace protests 100% , but looting, blocking roads and general mayhem is just criminal and has nothing to do with the original message.
Everything is boarded downtown now. They arrested 60 people yesterday . Glad I live 8 miles from ground zero , but not far enough.
Suppose to peak here this weekend, waiting for the sun to go down.
I've been pretty much the same here. Classed as a key worker been working throughout the lockdown. Strange feeling driving around at first on the empty roads. Only been one demonstration nearby in Manchester. Not many arrests as I can gather. But can sense trouble is coming between BLM and football supporters/Right wing group's. I'll be staying away that's for sure
