I'm sure more ideas will come forward in the coming days.

If you have any ideas yourself PM me and I will put them forward to store managers.

It's not good out there. Supporting vulnerable people who are reducing their contact because of physical health reasons, getting stuff for them is a nightmare and we are actually increasing our contact just so people can eat, let alone manage promote mental health our primary role (Community Mental Health Team)
@GrandOldTeam can we see if there's anyway to get first dibs on long life milk as an added benefit for forum supporters?

Long life milk is minging though !
Ask for first dibs on cigarettes and alcohol.

Yep, those in the field will be completely unsurprised that this has happened"The findings that horseshoe bats are the natural reservoir for SARS-CoV-like virus and that civets are the amplification host highlight the importance of wildlife and biosecurity in farms and wet markets, which can serve as the source and amplification centers for emerging infections."
Allegedly known to be a potential threat all the way back in 07.
It needs to be achievable. I'll settle for an increase in the number of tins of chickpeas I can buy in one go.

Many NHS services are multi agency these days, so a team can be made up from various organisations, not just NHS staff.
So it's nice that Tesco's are having protected hours for NHS staff, however, many colleagues will be left out of this protected hours on Sundays. It will take days if not weeks for high up NHS managers to think of other the agencies within NHS face to face teams.

Very true, my mum's a nurse and the shifts are all over the place,
I wonder if home deliveries should be prioritised to just key workers, old and vulnerable people? Don't know how they would achieve this like but brighter minds and all that

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
I've been looking for an answer to that for a while and can't find it, my wife is 31 and type 1 diabetic.
Disappointing that was your first thought really.

It wasn't my first thought when I saw that FFS.

Just reading about the two youngest deaths in the UK , the 45 and 59 year old.
One had motor neurone disease , which was reported. However what wasn't reported at the time was that he had two years to live, two years ago.
The 59 year old was retired due to health issues and contracted sepsis prior to having to attend hospital.
We know what the virus does , and it will have an impact on the elderly certainly who can't fight it off. But it's starting to feel like every death is being put down to Corona virus even if the cause of death may well have been something else. Almost like they are detecting it after or during death and listing it as the cause when really it's pneumonia / sepsis or something else that essential kills people anyway.
I know you may say that the virus causes that but it seems to convenient that they are dying through common means but don't have the virus at its worst for a cause of death, especially given the underlying health conditions they all have.
I don't know man, all a little odd. For ever person who has sadly lost their life through the virus is one reported who is loosely connected to it almost.
