That's something that I don't think the stores have thought through as surely all of the at risk people shopping at the same time is a recipe for disaster In practice it doesn't work anyway - there were plenty of 'ordinary' people in our local shop at the specified time. A new twist with the Co-op (our village shop) is that as well as one hour every day for the vulnerable (and their carers), they are now including NHS workers! Oh joy, people from the front line of infection shopping alongside the vulnerable and elderly - who the hell thought that a good idea?

No tux, they are advising not telling. I get your point but we had far more contact with people in Tesco for 30mins yesterday (both physical and airborne) than we had for over 140hrs while in Portugal*.

Maybe they brought an old person’s id, and there’s no stopping them buying for multiple people (their families) There are plenty of people with limited intelligence in retail.

Ray of hope, maybe, that some kind of normality is only a few weeks away. The pictures in this article are really quite exciting. No evidence yet as far as I know whether there'll be a second wave in Asia to follow the return to work?
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |
