I haven't had to deal with that as I am officially 'do not leave your
house' for 14 weeks extended for another 6 weeks. Our wonderful system
made a one-hour oldie slot early morning Friday on the first week of
lockdown. I calculated from demographics that meant that asÂ* 42% of the
customers fulfilled the designation 'oldie' and that therefore to give
them one-hour a week was a recipe for no social distancing and suggested
that my wife didn't go for us. However she did go. My guesses were
proved accurate there were hundreds of people mikking around to try and
get in - eventually the store controllers gave up and let everybody in
while there was still something on the shelves. Actually my demographics
was crude in that I should have eliminated children under 16 from the
mix (oldies up to 73%) and then divided by 2 for households ect bu even
so it was arrant and senseless stupidity. It got better with experience
and they added in the next hour for medics, careworkers, etc
Talking of shelves being empty then there are still some products
unavailable - flour of any kind is rare. (Problem is that you can
probably get 50lb bags because the mills are still working but the
factoriesÂ* packing into normal size bags were closed down) as a senior
person in the care industry said "the government were not following any
plan but reacting day by day to what seemed to be the greatest pressure"
