Well if Dawlish town gets anywhere as busy as Dawlish Warren was yesterday (Friday) afternoon I'd say the restoration of their normal food chain is imminent.
I've been pleased up till now to see that the SW has consistently had the lowest rate of hospital cases etc. in the UK. I was less pleased yesterday to see that the R0 rate in the SW is among reckoned to be the highest, at 0.76.
