Undoing of all restrictions

[SuperSange]

DH and I were chatting yesterday about the potential pathway for the undoing of all of the various restrictions we currently have. Not timeframe, just the order in which things might be undone (until the next peak, when they'll be reinstated). We couldn't decide in what order things should/would happen. Any thoughts?

Construction
Business
Shops
Schools
Social distancing to continue.

Its odd how quickly its become normal, i work in a corner shop and 98% had no concept of personal space. Now everyone stays s polite distance

There will be other factors to consider besides the effect on virus spread - principally public order. For that reason, I think non-essential shops will be the first to reopen, followed by indoor sports and leisure venues, followed by non-licenced cafes and restaurants.

The government will want to avoid any scenario where people gather in huge numbers to celebrate the easing of lockdown (i.e. mass piss-ups), so pubs and the lifting of restrictions on gatherings in open spaces will be the last things to happen. Possibly they will lift restrictions on visiting others in their homes before pubs/open spaces.

They'll want to make sure people feel as back to normal as possible to avoid a mass and potentially dangerous letting off of steam (although I think whatever they do, that kind of thing will happen to some degree).
