seen in a supermarket car park somewhere in England a couple coming out of the shop with a trolley load of stuff changing their clothes (coats and so on) then getting another trolley and going back in.

Are there no depths to which people will not sink.

That's the extremely high risk people diabetics are classed as vurernable people.
This is what you should all look at.

I went to Tesco’s on Saturday and managed to get most of what I wanted except milk - although fresh meat, pasta, flour, cat food, toilet rolls, wet wipes, hand sanitiser and soap amongst other things were also non existent. We then went into Aldi which had some milk so we were ok but there were 3 packets of 100 multi wipes left and, to be honest, I did wonder whether to pick one up but, because I’d managed to get a pack in Tesco, I decided to leave them for someone else who may need them more but this chap came along and took all 3 - he could have at least left one pack for somebody else but no he had to have them.
 
So far the "The Segregated Shopping Hours" have resulted in more people in the supermarkets at these times and hence more risk. Within a few days it is likely stock levels will be back to normal but with a reduced selection.
