How serious is this?

[John H]

Thank you all for your kind words, I just hope thats what has happened to Janet and countless others knocks some sense into those who think that this is all media hype and that they are invincible, no one is.

Stay safe

John

Spain relaxing rules slightly, seems an odd relaxation as now there will be 2 or 3 times the amount of people in shops i.e. Enclosed spaces but not allowed into open spaces!
 Where we are it's the opposite , only one from each household in shops and encourage to use wide open spaces.

I go with my wife to various supermarkets in the UK and we get let in together, haven't yet been separated. I suppose if it's obvious you are a couple who live together it's pointless. People are good at observing the 2 metres spacing where we live, glad we are allowed out for excercise, it must be awful in Spain where you can't go out especially if you have young children.

Kevin, supermarkets are encouraging people to shop by themselves rather than as a couple or with their children. The fewer people in the shop the better to reduce the risk of contracting the virus.

Ive been shopping three times, three times only since this started, to one supermarket with a shopping list to last a week. I've been going at 7.00pm in order to reduce the chance of being in contact with other people, I've got to say I was bloody annoyed when I saw couples shopping together, I was equaly annoyed when I saw some folk shopping with baskets and only buying two or three items.

I'm the last person in the world to be antisocial, but I've been down right rude with folk who've invaded my 2 metre zone. It makes it far harder to keep to 2 metres when a couple are in a supermarket shopping rather than a person shopping by themselves.

Can I ask that you please think about others, who are obviously taking this more seriously, when you are out shopping.

Stay safe

Good point John I go on my own early morning and get it enough to last for a week plus and do it quickly and in one shop  again this morning there were several couples shopping together and one group of about 4 all together ,another couple were looking at new plates and a toaster and bed linen for as the wife said the spare room hardly essential  it’s crazy why do it ? It just means we will all have to suffer longer

[bertdove]

Why haven't the supermarkets removed these non/essential items?  Are they cynically trying to get round the restrictions?

Bert

[chris and jackie]

Our supermarkets have removed or closed off non essential items parts. Only one person per household and one way in Tesco.
See Spain have done uturn and children will be allowed for walks from weekend, details to be advised

[Spurs]

I’m with you Bert I don’t know why they have left the non essentials out , but I did really notice today some people were starting to not follow the guidelines and it was very different to the first week when I went . I guess as it goes on longer people are staring to relax the actions which is very worrying

[bertdove]

No gloves available in Dialprix today.  This is worrying.
