Day 9. Week 2 of self distancing. Day 1 of complete lockdown.

View from Eidos towards the offices and shops.

View towards the south.

The day dawned cloudy with some intervals of rain, so I'm not tempted to go out for my run. And starting today we have to ask for written permission to leave home (or boat in my case). 

All of Greece is under complete lockdown until tentatively April 6. 
I am beginning to feel like the frog that is being boiled alive. If you put it in hot water, it will jump out but if you put it in cold water and slowly turn the heat up, it will stay in the pot and slowly get cooked to death. We have been slowly losing our freedom of movement for the past week to slow down the coronavirus transmission. The numbers of infected and dead are increasing dramatically. We now have 624 people infected with 17 dead. I am imagining that some master of the universe hungry for yet more power over the population is directing this drama from above or from some remote fortress, but it is the virus that's at the bottom of this tragedy.
It is now more difficult to travel onto and from Lefkas Island - there will be police near the swinging bridge checking documents. 
At the marina, we are also to expect coast guard and police patrols making sure we don't venture off our boats and onto the docks without a good reason and a permit even to go to the toilet or to drop off trash. I am expecting a bottle of cooking gas to be delivered today and need to add more money to my electricity dongle. Meanwhile, my phone refuses to send an SMS message to permit me to go for a run...
With a self-declaration in writing, I went to the telephone office and topped up my account for messaging, then quickly to the grocery store and bakery and back on board. I think this will be my outing for the day.
