Must admit, last few days I have been out picking up a few things, and so far for me Tesco are pretty good, so I will be going there again when i run out.
On the bottom of the scale for me is Lidls, went there and it'a like they are making a token gesture towards keeping customers safe, I mean FU*K they have you queuing on the aisles, so basically you are standing there, with all the 2 metre separation, and along come the customers, and their face says it all, it's like hands up, I know I'm not supposed to come near you, but how the ferk can I do my shop otherwise. They grab their crisps, biscuits red faced and carry on, not their fault, rubbish planning by Lidl, oh yeah and just 2 on the tills and the queue stretching back 15 people long.. wa*kas.

I went to Sainsbury’s yesterday with my Mrs, and when we got ahead in the queue there was a sign saying ‘only one adult per household’. Now I’m the first to admit I’m not the sharpest tool in the box but I can’t understand why. Can someone enlighten me?

Back on topic - I had to do a food shop yesterday and took one look at the queues outside Tesco and ASDA and instantly knocked it on the head in favour of the local village Co-Op which had two cars in the car park, had a staff member controlling volume of foot fall and was pretty much stocked with everything that we needed. My neighbour said the same about the other small general store in the village.
Went to our local aldi yesterday, first time I haven't had to queue tui get into the car park, gho it my trolley and spent t about 20 minutes queuing outside. Generally people were respecting the social distancing idea with the odd exception. I've noticed generally people are being more considerate if each other. Plenty of stock including pasta, toilet rolls etc. Staff also said that things have improved so much recently.

More or less, yes that’s what I believe. The person who speaks more sense on this subject than anyone else is Professor Graham Medley, and what he has to say on the subject I totally agree with.
What people need to realise is when this lockdown is over the rate of infection is going to go north once again ( unless you want to continue the lockdown for 12-18 months so they can develop a vaccine) so it’s time to weigh up the cost of continuing the lockdown and all the suffering that will bring and in Professor Medley’s mind, that cost is greater than finishing the lockdown, and going down the herd immunity road ( still shielding the elderly & vulnerable).

Not really. I’ve quoted Ferguson a fair few times, but even he now seems to be moving in the direction of herd immunity.
There is no easy way out of this crisis and continuing the lockdown into the summer will have a devastating effect not just on the economy (which would be huge) also on lots of other issues, and now it seems that some of the scientists advising the government seem to think that the status quo is not sustainable and will cause more suffering, which I agree with.
