Sorry to hear that PV. Think there will be a lot of stories like this over the coming weeks/months, sadly.
Indeed mate, and thanks. |

Ha. Went there hoping for a more reserved shop. Never been before. Unbelievably expensive. It's like double the price for the same stuff as other shops. Don't get why anyone would shop there under normal circumstances. Won't be hurrying back
Yeah its a shop designed for people who don't really need to worry about how much things cost. Funnily enough there was a documentary on Waitrose on Channel 5 last night and there was a bit about house prices which are actually inflated if there is a Waitrose nearby. As you say, its just the same stuff at double the price, lunacy. |

Sorry to hear about your loss PV. I agree I think this is going to get more and more common sadly. I now personally know 3 people that have died from it and half a dozen friends of friends.

Thanks Mex, I can return the feeling with your losses too, it is awful times, more worrying for those with severe health problems too like you, but this is now affecting far more younger people and with no underlying health problems. I think the severity is now finally sinking home with a lot of people why were a bit blasé previously. |

It's the type of place you go to for fresh foods, not brands - you clearly get brands from the cheapest place going. I got drunk in that Waitrose once. |

USA getting close to 1,000 deaths a day now. 50/50 split round my way I think, of people who are taking it seriously vs. those who think it's all some sort of conspiracy by George Soros.

I think they've changed the way they are reporting on deaths, which is why there was the apparent dip on Monday and the apparent spike since then. Given the known time lags as well in adding deaths into the official stats, don't think it's a good idea to read too much into deaths stats on a day by day basis. Probably better looked at week to week. There's also the fact that they're not reporting all the deaths, it's pretty much only the ones who die in hospital who have been tested for it or where a coroner can be absolutely certain that it's COVID-19. So there will be a lot of people dying at home or in nursing homes where it's being put down as pneumonia etc |

As I said maybe 80 pages ago. This is going to get a lot lot worse for you all. It’s a shit thing to say but I can’t see any alternative. The UK is not even in lockdown. You can go the park, out for a walk, run etc. how many gates or park benches are you touching? Sorry to be dramatic but 563 deaths is more than spain and italy at this point in time in your process. Please stay safe. Even mystical goat ! The yellow fucker
