There will always be some people buying unnecessary items because realistically you can't expect a whole nation to co-inside unfortunately, maybe with stricter forces in place you could manage it such as China did, but the UK has a history of freedom and anti-socialist values so i'll doubt the government would ever enforce extremely strict measures.
There's always going to still be areas such as supermarkets that will be busy because food is essential, smaller towns I guess might not seen a giant difference because towns are often where most people live, City's are the dangerous areas as they're usually crowded areas where the virus could thrive because there's always a movement of people a reason as to why New York is going to probably be the worst affected area in the world.
In terms of the lockdown, I think it'll most defiantly go on for this entire month. no one can tell when lockdown can end because it's a virus, and things change on the daily. If I was to predict like everyone else I would say by early May they'll be some reductions. I'm all for people lives are more important the economy, but I really don't see the extreme predicts some people are saying like this will last months, the economy would collapse, they're would be more deaths from that then the virus, the lockdown needs to be in place until hospitals have the strength to support cases.

we dutch also care about our freedom honestly, but staying at home is a absolute must now in this crisis
however you can still enjoy your freedom at home, i mean no one restricts you to stay indoors, your garden or balcony depending where you live is part of your home
also a suggestion of mine, do not watch the news too much, it can make you depressed if you constantly watch that
