Maybe this belongs in CV thread and is trivial compared to some in here but was at the farmer's market yesterday and both sellers of game said this could be last week of fresh birds and maybe few still to come. This is because lockdown has closed shoots and when allowed to resume (if) would be limited to 11 people so may not restart.
OK so why should those monied toffs get a let off but look at it this way -
birds were reared/protected earlier in the year - like farming you can't just pause things,
the money would pay to keep estates going rather than seeing them sold off and developed,
there are lots of people employed in the industry
most birds shot are not taken by those shooting, they end up at markets where they are cheap (4 pheasants for £10 - 5 at end of season) - more jobs/businesses at risk.

And what are the risks of groups of people, distanced out, outside to spreading CV19 anyway?
