Isn't packing NHS workers from all sections of the service into supermarkets at 9am in the morning a bit dangerous, surely better to spread it out a bit

I think it'll be okay as long as they give each other a Lidl room... |  |

My Mum goes along to the “senior citizen” hour at Tesco.
It’s good that they are restricting the number of people in the store to help with social distancing.
However as a consequence of this, it means that she is queueing for 45 minutes outside the store in the car park to get in.
When she has then put the items in her trolley, there is a 20-minute wait to get to the till.
Whole thing takes about a couple of hours.
I personally think the smaller shops are going to do pretty well out of this, and that’s no bad thing. Good luck to them. |  |

When you stand in one of these supermarket queues, a certain number of people heading for the back of the line will walk past you with hardly any separation at all, in some places because a fence or wall means they have to. So, that rather defeats the object of it all.
Even away from supermarkets, a few younger people, mostly in their teens and twenties from what I've observed, tend to not bother much about the separation rules as they think the virus will only kill old people. This seems to be especially true of joggers and cyclists on footpaths. I saw a blind man out walking this morning and thought, what chance has he got of getting out of the way of oncoming cyclists and joggers? [Post edited 6 Apr 2020 10:33]

I do the shopping in our house, over the past few weeks i have found the wait to get into the supermarkets no more than 20-25 minutes and literally no queues at the tills as there are limits to the numbers in the store.
Most stores are doing well now they are in the swing of things, Asda yesterday wasn't one of them in that they had badged up nightclub bouncers on the door who werent letting people in one in one out, but waiting for 25 people to leave then letting 25 in at once meaning that everyone was in a pack around the vegetable section | |

I have found going to the local Tesco at about 8.30pm isn’t too bad. | |
