[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2275482, member: 365308"] I have been shopping because I believe that if you don't want physical shops to go out of business then we have to get on with it. I am type 1 female aged 49 and in good health otherwise so that wasn't such a great ask of me. I do not think I am crazy as the OP inferred to take a very small risk of getting infected and slightly less small risk of being seriously ill with it. The new ab normal was in full swing in my small town local centre mall which was struggling a bit before all of this. Waterstones greeted me with the offer of a spray down (declined) and the highlighting of my route through the shop. I had a clear idea of what I wanted so just got that. It occurred to me that my daughter might enjoy a new book as she's just been diagnosed with ADD but I decided not to browse mindful of the fact that any book I touch would have to go on to the decontamination trolley before being returned to the shelves. Got 50% off a top in White Stuff and I am glad to see they have survived thus far. This cannot be said for Monsoon/Accessorise and Fat Face though I cannot assume that going bust is their reason for not opening up. Dodged the one way system to visit a chocolate shop (encouraging others to join the Diabetes Club I know). Again it is a shop I like to browse in and used to enjoy the sampling opportunities offered therein. Horrible queues outside Sports Direct and H & M; I do not think their business model works for limited numbers in store. Fancied popping in to Marks and Spencers but not when I saw the queue. I guess I could not have stayed out too long in town as you can get Covid from flushing the loo and the local paper is now warning us about the risk of legionnaire's disease from long dis- used water tanks! Overall it was not enjoyable and rather sad though not as sad as it will be for those people without jobs once the furlough system peters out but a great example of how to finish off the high street and prepare us all for the 4th Industrial Revolution!
