Local Chemist

[TonyV]

I had to go to local pharmacy this morning to pick up scrip for my partner. Looked more like a war zone hospital. Apart from the 2 metre distancing zones, there was a thick plastic shield across the counter and staff all wearing masks, I know they have a duty of care to their employees and customers. A sign of the times I guess?

Quite right to, we should all be following the guidelines to keep ourselves safe. We can’t assume every customer has been following the guidelines .

I know anne, fortunate they are open, as you say you don't know who is coming through the door. Apparently you can have the virus and not show any external signs.

same in our little Sainsbury's (not at the self-checkout tills, though).

My Lidl - the queue was round the block but everyone was keeping a distance. They were only letting 10 in at a time. I got to the till, keeping my distance from customer in front, then this group of teenage lads came and joined queue and stood literally right behind me. I asked them really nicely to step back a bit and they just laughed at me.

Smow youngsters seem to think they are invincible, unfortunately the virus is not preferential.
