I've just come back from the supermarket and not one person I saw had a second thought about putting their bare hands on the supermarket trolley handles.
It will be the folks who went to Barry yesterday clogging up the hospital beds here, the fools. Got a few doctors live on my street, one next door, they cannot believe people were so dumb. Plenty of empty beds at the moment they tell me, let’s hope it stays that way hey
Just had a phone call from one of the oldies in my street that I am meant to shop for if they are taken ill. He currently shops on behalf of himself and his wife but he uses new rubber gloves for each trip to the supermarket. The cash point is already out of bounds and people need to use contactless payments where possible and be mindful of touching the self-service monitors with their bare hands. Such simple measures could save lives.
My wife and i put our mobile phone numbers out to known elderly neighbours, on a card through their letterbox, with a little note saying that both of us are available at certain times (after work and weekends) if they need anything dropped off or just need a chat due to feeling isolated or worried. We don't know them all that well but thought it was the right thing to do, explaining that we both work full time and we have kids etc.
One of them has told all her friends from day centre that we're running this 'service' and we've had about 10 phone calls asking for stuff to be dropped over! We've even had sons and daughters calling from distant parts of the country asking us to go to their parents houses, one lady even told us where they keep the cash! Obviously told them that we're not a service, just helping out. I shouldn't laugh, but i was like Victor Meldrew every time the phone rang the other night
thats the issue with " guidelines " I said it before, the Government need to grow a pair and close all the non-essential shops / stores, I drove through town today and all the shops were open, all the hair dressers / barbers etc etc
take the options out of the public's hands and close everything down
There's a Prime Ministerial broadcast at 8.30pm. More restrictions to follow.
