Wandering round a shop, even if you got close to one other person who had the virus, chances are you wouldn’t be close enough for long enough.

Where and when this turns on it’s head is offices opening up, and tens of thousands of commuters travelling in and out of major cities. Suddenly lots of people in air conditioned environments and on public transport are infecting each other and your chances of bumping into a few folk with the virus in Waitrose improves.

No never. Not Waitrose!
