[QUOTE="Ziggyp, post: 2238582, member: 521437"] I agree this is a problem. Of my four children, my 17 year old is a type 1, and my eldest, who is 22 and lives at home with me, has an autoimmune disorder which puts her at high risk of complications even with normal flu, I'm unsure if her exact illness puts her on the government list of most vulnerable people but her consultant has definitely advised her to isolate herself and not get out of the house at all. It's impossible to get food delivered, as all slots are taken, and she can't register as a new vulnerable customer with Sainsbury. This means we need to get out of the house to get food from the shops, which in turn means that within the house, to protect my daughter we can't be anywhere near her even with no symptoms, as we can't be sure it's safe. Saying 'get food delivered' or 'get friends or relatives to shop for you' sounds fine, but is over-simplified advice, I can't see who I'd send out shopping for my entire family on a regular, long-term basis, a friend could help here or there once or twice, but this is about feeding a family of 6 with coeliac restrictions for possibly 12 weeks. The best way to do this is for us to get out and get the food, but the price to pay within the house, with my daughter having to be alone in another room for those 12 weeks, is high. [/QUOTE]
