So vulnerable high risks groups? Is this just elderly or any age ranges?

I'm seeing more cases in the news of younger people suffering.

It’s a disgrace that we have been bounced into. I’ve no problem with closing senior schools where the kids can look after themselves but closing primary schools is just shooting ourselves in the foot.....

However, it is that age group that socially touch each other the most.

The bids are all fake usually.
If you look at hand gel bids etc the same buyers are making fake bids to get price up to create a story.
No way these ever actually get paid for by the winning bidder.
Actual real fake news.

Breast is best, although unfortunately lactation experts are now forbidden from home visits (which is probably for the best tbh)

Just been to ASDA as we don’t have a vulnerable-only time yet but they are enforcing 3 of each item. I grabbed 3 bottles of wine but he said it’s actually 3 per brand so it doesn’t stop people hoarding booze whatsoever. Lots of shelves were empty even though they’d restocked for a 6am opening.

Grabbed a pack of 12 loo rolls before I watched an old man in a wheelchair smear s**** all over the remaining packs of loo roll...

Hello Barrow.

in which case great but ultimately I dislike the whole desire to profiteer from These situations . The footage of a shop charging a tenner or whatever for toilet rolls or the same for paracetamol wasn’t fake , I have no massive issue with people trying to earn a living or make a profit but flagrant profiteering from the misery of others is something I can’t really stomach .

The hoarders are the lowest of the low right now. Genuinely sad to see such levels of cowardice and selfishness

Me too, younger people seem to be mistaking "mostly not fatal" with "just a runny nose"

She shouldn't be driving after a 48 hour shift.
But Tesco are letting NHS staff in on Sunday at 9am to do the shopping and get ready to pay when the tills open at 10am before any public are allowed into stores.

No doubt the Sunday trading laws will get changed going forward too.

move said it repeatedly we’ve really let ourselves down , unfortunately it’s not taken much to scratch the surface of this society .

Can't imagine what it's like in those sorts of areas. Myself and the missus are lucky in that, in our town at least, we can wait until the afternoon and the essentials are all still there and in good supply

With respect though, that assumes that NHS staff have regular operating hours. Shift workers typically don't, and having a slot at 9am is no good if your shift starts at 8am.
