Well I wouldn't trust it regardless. A marker for the killer virus they subsequently release to wipe out the West later on is highly likely.

What do you guys think about this was I in the wrong or what?

I was shopping at ASDA with a client (I am a Support Worker). Whilst shopping there were a number of guys not wearing masks and I remarked on it to an ASDA member of staff and we were both frustrated- I went to ask the guy (Young fit man but could have had breathing problems I suppose) to wear a mask and he tells me to fuck off.

So I continue shopping and we get to the checkout and the first thing the staff do is have a go at my client for being too close to the checkout - I asked what about the other shoppers not wearing masks, then the woman in the next checkout called security, they come over and I said the same thing. Then another came over and by the end of it I am surrounded by 5 of their staff telling me I am being aggressive and that I am barred and to leave my shopping there and leave the store (I had paid already so I told them and then started leaving with my shopping. Then the store manager comes down and says right you out your never coming here again and we're phoning the police)

Is the moral of the story that it isnt worth it. Or right to take a stand.

btw being aggressive was not shouting or swearing - It was me being annoyed as I counted out the 5 security staff to them, all because my client stepped less than 2 mtrs towards the checkout which is surely ridiculous!

morally it's right to take a stand, but it probably isn't worth approaching some dickhead directly.

Thats Asda permanently off my list.
Write and complain. They said people not wearing masks would not be let in a week and a half a go.
www.bbc.com

Tesco, Asda and Waitrose ban shoppers without face masks

It follows similar moves by Morrisons and Sainsbury's, but those with medical reasons will be exempt.

The Mrs has tested positive this morning. I've had symptoms since yesterday so assuming I've got it but I'm working from home anyway so I'm working on the basis of just isolating for 14 days if that's correct?

The Mrs was struggling with pains and headaches, I've got zero smell/taste and a heavy chest. She's had Beechams which have helped a lot so far?

10 days from the start of your symptoms for you. 10 from the test date for your partner.
 
Here are the latest testing positive age ranges of cases from N Ireland:

0 - 19 (671) 11,0%

20 - 39 (2144) 35.3%

40 - 59 (1993) 32.8%

60 - 79 (927) 15,2%

80 plus (346) 5,7%

Post about it on social media and tag ASDA in. Tweet about it or put it on some local community page.

These big companies hate bad publicity more than anything else, it's what makes them act.

Which is the approach the security guard is taking. Not worth a confrontation on whatever £ an hour they get.


However if they can summon 5 security guards to confront someone at a check out, they should be doing the same to those people spreading a deadly virus.

Thanks for that.

As you say, I would expect regulators to want oversight of the manufacturing certainly, and it won't be released until it's been approved, so I don't have any particular worries about it being safe when authorised.
 
Total deaths today with England out of hospital to come (always big adds on mid week) is 945.

We will not avoid 1000 deaths and some today unfortunately.

Last week the number was 839 and it became 1243 when all settings were added.

Sadly we may be 1400 or more and anything less would be better than expectations.

1564 is the highest so far.


Looks all but certain we will go past that in next couple of days unfortunately. But you never know.

To be fair, you probably bamboozled them by being able to count to 5 without using your fingers.
The moral of your story is dont shop at asda.
Scruffy shops run by idiots, frequented by scrotes.

You went wrong with your "whataboutery" when they asked your client to move. You should have just moved him. Supermarket staff, particularly on checkouts, are in the firing line and have families to go home to.

There’s more to holidays in the UK than Devon you know. And if it’s booming everywhere then that will help give our economy a boost.
It’s not for us to tell other countries that they should accept tourists from the UK - that’s up to those countries to decide.

they will, and we'll be going on international holidays.

Surely all they'd have to do is hack into the chips Bill Gates put in the vaccine anyway and make us all submit to mother Russia.

Seriously, as a former cold War combatant i would trust Russia or China as far as I would throw them - and thats 0' and 0".
Indeed, Russia still chucks Novichock and Polonium around for fun so they haven't changed one Iota.
As you're so sure it's great and dandy I'm sure you will volunteer. Well done.
