Molécula Covid-19?

Lockdown day 41.
Today was my turn to run the plague gauntlet to the supermarket 25 mins away for a number of necessary items. Only one person per car is the rule, and only trips for food or meds allowed - guardia can stop you to make sure you have actually bought stuff, and will check the receipt to make sure it's not a pretext just to get out. "Healthy outdoor exercise" daily is not allowed as in the UK, and by now I am actually afraid to go out at all. On Sunday the government are allowing up to 3 children under 14 to go out in the immediate neighbourhood of their home, accompanied by just one adult from the same household - no beaches, parks or playgrounds of course. These poor kids have been kept indoors for 6 weeks! Kids 14 and over, and adults, will have to wait for further relaxing of the very rigid rules. Watching TV footage of people in the UK enjoying what looks like an extended holiday amazes me. Lives are at stake ffs.
Anyway, on a more positive note the supermarket had some garden compost in stock for the first time, and I scored an 80 litre bag. No excuse now for all the repotting and planting I've wanted to do.
In all the anxiety of going out alone in public, I forgot to take any pictures. This is a measure of the stress involved as I ALWAYS take pictures to document stuff out there. Instead you have a picture of one of Minnie2's chewing toys (never favoured over my shoes or home furnishings), faffed about a bit to look something like the ubiquitous plague molecule cartoon shown on all those meaningless broadcasts.
