Won't stop repeated visits though or people borrowing wholesaler trade cards from relatives.

Eradicating disgusting selfishness at checkouts though, no matter how many visits are made, will certainly help!

Man, how I'd love that job, of emptying the trollies of these wankers and watching their faces as I do it!!

Regarding our local Retail park that houses a lot of the high streets well known outlets is over half closed till further notice. I think a few more shops may shut up this week, the ones that people really could live happily without.

The tricky bit is People who have to go to work that do not want to in fear or contracting it or if they have it without realising yet hence possibly spreading it. Places like supermarkets which will not close being a necessity, also ofc the NHS front line. For these two lines of work i feel for them, putting themselves at risk but cannot do much to avoid being in the thick of it, especially when they have a family at home...

The simple solution is a total lock down of the country when absolutely no one ventures outside but its an impossibility.

In the meantime a whole lot of plonkers are going to the beach and going to the parks. What part of "you will probably spread a deadly virus" and it may come back to hit you or your friends in a few weeks time" do these idiots not understand?

I didn't believe it all at first, then I looked at the maths, and the strategies - and yes - it is going to get bad. Very bad for some people. I'm not keen on the government, but the latest advice is more or less on the right lines - with some glaring errors. Having all the older people go in to supermarkets sounds like a good idea - keep the others out - then all the oldies can infect each other, and they won't be around in a month or so. Social distancing is a start, and if people follow the guidelines, then it doesn't have to get worse. It might, in which case "sensible" measures might be much more draconian, severe, and unpleasant.

Well i was up and having brekki this morning at 6:00am, saw em in Australia on morning TV, Beaches were packed with sun worshippers totally mad. Same in the USA with the young uns party party. So what do they do if they cant go to the pub, have a party in the house, such mentality makes my mind boggle. a congregation of people is a congregation in a pub or a home, such muppets

Some could be buying for the elderly/infirm though, as well as themselves. And some have big families, I know a few people with 7 or 8 children. Anyway they were already rationing in our Sainsbury this morning.

You can tell if they are buying for elderly etc. Everything would not be multiples of exactly the same brand which it mostly is.
