I don't know how many times we can explain this!
Yes there is potential for spread in shops. But people need to get food.
There is potential for spread in work. But people need to work.
There is potential for for spread in pubs. People don't need to go for a pint.
It's all about limiting non vital social interaction.
If we can limit the non essential stuff then hopefully we can get away with just closing the pubs and restaurants and people can still go to work and go to the supermarket.
The irony is that the people who don't want total lockdown are the ones that are going to cause it by going to non essential situations and exacerbating the spread.
It might come to that tbf.Should be done for everybody to be honest.
Just drive up, pay, put it in your boot. Have a few selections (gluten free, vegan, meat etc) and you get food for a week in a box for your family. Job done, drive away after you pay.
Much less hassle, much less risk of spreading, more people can get food they actually need.
So do you agree people should only go to shops say once a week?
Hopefully the rumours of the government subsidising wages up to 75% are true. I guess we find out later.
Personally, I'm screwed. Work from home as a freelancer and I only started up the business recently. I don't know if I'm entitled to any sort of grant as that will be administered via local authorities based on business rate records - but I don't have a business premises as I work from home, and I don't even have a payroll set up yet as I've been living off savings while I start the business. All that money has gone. Really worrying times.
Ah, the fruit's been in for about... three years.Even if you took away the over buying, the fact so many people "need to eat" as much as we are
I've now realised what all the toilet roll is for.
With house-fulls though, people are going to have to wait until everyone is fast asleep.
It might come to that tbf.
I don't know how many times it needs to be pointed out.
PEOPLE DONT NEED TO QUEUE UP FOR HOURS FOR FOOD WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS.
The Coop freezers are full of pizzas, chips, burgers etc.
Yet the message is "Go for a beer and you kill people and you are so selfish".
Well I totally get what Nick is trying to say...

I’ve run the same pub for the last fifteen years and for Boris to advise people to Avoid us likeWasnt aimed at workers mate ! That’s essential and whilst I love a beer and night out with my mates, that’s probably not quite the same
also not aimed at going to shops etc. people need to live

I agree.It should be sooner rather than later. It would limit the risk for shop staff catching it too.
Just get them making up packages and people buy one of a few packages. Job done.
No queues, no spread by people coughing all over the stuff in the shop, no fighting, everybody gets food to get by.
One consequence of all this is that in 3 months or so, gym memberships will soar. People sat on the sofa for all that time eating carbs isn't going to end well.

Hope you’re OK mate. If there’s anything the SBT family can do to help I’m sure we will. Don’t suppose your business is anything we can support remotely?
Yup, nobody is saying they do. They're saying people need to buy food so you can't ban that. It's not the same as saying go feral and panic buy.

Or can they?I envy those that have had it, once you get the test kits out and we can see who is alright they can get on with things as normal.
Divorces will go up as well.
I bet the murder rate will too.
Just being nosy, but is it local? If so, which one?I’ve run the same pub for the last fifteen years
TBF I’m really missing my weekly murder and will have a lot of catching up to do once normal life resumes.

You going to hide under the stairs until she finds you?I'm expecting both in.our house
You could issue rations based off electoral roll and get people to collect them from designated centres and close supermarkets down
No not local lm in Lowestoft, SuffolkJust being nosy, but is it local? If so, which one?
You going to join some of the others in doing takeaway? I see the Oak in Brandon are saying take your bottle down, and get it filled up to take home for £2 a pint - will hopefully at least keep them goiing a bit, especially as they've just re-opened after a refurb!
Exactly, just a big bag / box full of stuff for a week to be able to have healthy, nutritious meals.
Card payment, job done.

So people are CHOOSING to clog up the supermarkets rather than NEEDING to and spreading germs much more than somebody in the pub. Got there in the end.
I am pretty sure most people could live for a couple of weeks from tins in their cupboards, stuff from the freezer just by going to get bread and milk from their local shop every couple of days.
The army or volunteers could distribute. I wonder if this was government advice but the supermarkets stayed open how many would still go
Pretty sure the fortnightly rape will be enough for you.
