[QUOTE="minidvr, post: 2277440, member: 103335"] Initially during the lockdown, we used a local corner shop for essentials, but the range was limited and no fresh fruit or different cat food for our fussy cats. So, we took the plunge and went masked and gloved to a local supermarket, which had prepared very well to make it Covid19 safe. Initially there were long lines waiting to enter (one in, one out) but by the second week and varying the time to quite early, we found it acceptable and were able to get perhaps 90% of what we needed, which we could topup from the corner shop. At age 70 and T2, with a spouse who has issues with lungs and sinus, we are both sheltering or shielding, but our GP has not categorised us as Extremely Vulnerable, so we are excluded from all of the things that status attracts, and as our attempts at online shopping were were fruitless, we've stuck to our routine. We stay home apart from this and going to pick up meds which is a 200 yard walk, one way. I know that advice is to stay at home as much as possible. We have done. My spouses boss has laid her off on fully pay until September, which has helped, I am retired, but was doing lots of voluntary work, which I had to stop for the time being, but I am hoping to resume in July or by 4th August when shielding ends.
