Re: Coronavirus: PM Boris Johnson Now out of Intensive Care

I went for my daily cycle ride this morning and noticed the queue at Aldi was stretching all along the car park,at first i thought wow thats a big queue but then i noticed that people were standing 3-4 meters apart, give it another week and it'll be up 10 mtrs.

Waitorse was c. 3m, all the way round the car park. I wondered if OB was in there somewhere but I couldn't hang around the Daily Torygraph shelf too long. Btw, that paper was selling the most. Waitrose even had hand sanitiser.

This morning I went to the local convenience store. They are always well stocked. They had sanitizer gel, 100ml at £5.99 each. I knoew that they were paying at least £5 from their source - but they were down to their last two because one or two people accused them of profiteering and they won't be stocking any more. What a shame.

980 Covid-19 Deaths recorded in last 24 hours throughout UK. :(

Re: Coronavirus: PM Boris Johnson Now out of Intensive Care

No queue at my Sainsbury's this afternoon (3pm) as the store was relatively empty. If it's busy they do a one out, one in, system with an orderly queue in a marked off section of the carpark and store front.

No eggs or flour but most other stuff available. Fortunately I have both in stock at home.

And sadly unlikely to peak for another 2 weeks.:(

Re: Coronavirus: PM Boris Johnson Now out of Intensive Care

On the contrary - there are very early signs in these figures that the curve is flattening. There is no evidence of a doubling of mortality on either a three-day or two-day trend here. Deaths per day are going up, but not by much.

Smashing the 2014-15 seasonal flu record then.

No, not at Waitrose. I don't regard that shop as providing value for money. I hover between Asda, Sainsbury's and on occasion, M&S.

So far, I have avoided the queuing. If you shop before 9am you can generally avoid them. I shall be glad when we are back to normal, though!

Keep an eye on the new admissions. That's where the first indications will be that the peak is reached. I think we may be there now. The figures for the number of deaths will take about three weeks to follow suit.

I have to admit I only shop at Waitrose for its excellent selection of Whisky.

Unfortunately we are in lockdown :(

Re: Coronavirus: PM Boris Johnson Now out of Intensive Care

I did my shop in my local Saisnbury's at 9:15 by then the queue was starting to lap the car park.

It took me 30 minutes to get in as they allow a certian number of people in the a 1 out 1 in system.

Their floor has tape 2 metres apart and one person per block, people can pass through.

Unfortunately I'll have to go every 4/5 days as it just my dad and me ATM and shelf life / availability is the limiting factor on certain items.

Someone said the ONS are recording figures 70% higher than those being released.
