I went (on my own) to do our family weekly shop in Asda this lunchtime. As a family we take all the precautions, only one of us goes, only shopping once every week or so, hand washing, hand sanitizer, keeping our distance from shoppers and staff etc. but the number of elderly people wandering around with a daughter, son or carer helping them shop was just jaw dropping.
Now, if you have no one to shop for you, no access to the internet or are still reasonably fit and healthy, you have a reasonable excuse, but if as was extremely evident, there is someone to care for you, what the hell are you doing out of the house?
I appreciate that for many, the shopping trip is a highlight of the week, but we are all making sacrifices here. Even if they sat in the car while their carer shopped it would be 100x safer for them.
How do we get the message across?
