I have delivery from Tesco fortnightly but have had a couple of collects at their Crewe store. In an empty corner of the underground two people in masks load my boot with no contact. Well done by them although delivery suits me better.I've done the click and collect thing since all this started back in March and even when this is all over I'll probably keep doing it.
It's generally easier to get a slot than for delivery (plus I drive so I always feel like I'm keeping a delivery slot open for someone who does need it), I pull into the car park at Asda and phone up to say I'm there, I then walk into the store and stand by the front door, someone brings the loaded trolley to me within a couple of minutes and away I go. Definitely preferable to wandering around in store for 45 minutes at a time like I used to!
Indeed. So it’s hard to untangle whether it’s COVID19 or the throat infection that’s making me run down (if that’s feasible?).Sorry to hear that and hope you make a swift recovery. My prevalent symptom was also a severe throat infection so I feel your pain! If it is causing you a lot of trouble the best thing for it is to gargle soluble paracetamol (if you can). It's a bit gross, but it works locally so it's the best way of getting pain relief right where you need it.
Not much. And per case it's bigger though because they did so well earlier they have more highly vulnerable people who can mor easily die if they catch it. That said they are only testing half the number of folks a day that we are. I can't actually find the number of tests but the +ve rate is between 10% and 20% so at most they're 250k tests a day at least 125k.German death rate is below ours

The US have zero restrictions (or version thereof) as they don't have a state run health system to maintain they literally don't give a monkeys about it. My boss is in Texas there is nothing in place and is one of worst hit states.In the figures for the whole pandemic it is but that's because initially they had very few deaths which skews the figures. At the height of April they had at worst 300 deaths a day, we had 1,000+. So of course it will look better but what happened in March last year is irrelevant to today.
Yesterday Germany reported 16k cases and 1,106 deaths.... In the UK it was 45k cases and 1,243 deaths. I'm guessing this is just a quirk in testing which makes sense given they test half as many people per day compared to us.
The US is reporting a death rate per case that is lower than ours too but it doesn't change the fact they are seeing 4,000 dying per day. That's still an incredible statistic on its own considering the US has virtually no restrictions.
dont know where aldi get these guys,the two on the door near to me look like they have just been released from strangewaysMy local Aldi has seemingly remployed the night club bouncers they had in May. Which is good.
