Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Back on topic thought this was an interesting thread on mask use

 

[Jeff Jones]

You have made me really keen to try that cheese from Asda that is worth an extra trip but I guess that shipping it to the US wouldn’t improve its taste lol

Oh, I don't know, cheese ages well. I'd like to try it myself.

I severely doubt it would be worth that effort. It's just one of those things that you try and just happen to prefer it to others, it's not mind blowing difference so don't feel you are missing out.

I didn't realise it was legal to go to more than one supermarket in one day no wonder they bring in rationing.

Do Walmart not still own Asda?

Think they do tbh but not sure they share the cheese selection!

No mate, it's not pointless.

I think staff on the shop floor who aren't behind a perspex screen should be wearing a mask, partly for health reasons, but also to set a standard for their customers to follow.

But, to take Morrisona as an example, there's very roughly, about 200 staff per store, and again, very roughly , each store gets about 3000 customers per day.

In reality, a lot of those staff won't be customer facing, so it'll likely be between 100 and 150 per store.

Simple maths says if all customers wear masks, that's roughly 95% of the people who are in the store each day. Plainly the staff are in the store longer than the customers, but even so, based on 8 hour shifts and half hour shops, if customers wear masks and staff don't, then you're still making a difference by putting on your mask to do your weekly shop. But it would be better if everyone, including staff who weren't behind a screen or visor, wore masks.

I think indoor staff should wear masks unless the company has a strict testing/screening policy. Maybe even a bit of training so those in the food sector don't lick their fingers to open plastic bags wouldn't go amiss.

I just like to nose around shops is all....


Morrisons is genuinely better for baby food, Asda is usually cheaper for frozen stuff (I also like the taste of the cheese they do) and I prefer Sainsbury's meat products and bakery.

In truth there are a lot of different products I prefer in one compared to the other. Usually I will round robin and only go to 2 in one night but I was behind this week so it was a mega shop. Luckily each is no more than 3 minutes drive from the other.

Just like going on a pub crawl but more expensive

Pencil me in.

You may wish to reconsider accepting that invitation mate

So many people do this.
My Mrs even does, certain supermarkets get certain exclusives.
Asda get the Diet Coke with Lime for example, and she loves that with a Bacardi.

Suprised she can even walk after you pulled your hammie going at it 100mph lol

It's gonna happen here too. The amount of 'friends' photographs on Facebook. Getting pissed up and social distancing goes right out the window! I've no interest in going out currently due to this behaviour. They're going to ruin it for themselves...
