Re: Coronavirus
Tesco and Lidl no longer offer free hand sanitiser or sprays to disinfect the trolley handles at the entrance to its stores.
I only saw 3 other people wearing masks in Tesco, and I was the only one masked in Lidl. Schoolkids coughing and sneezing in Lidl, so I left and came back later, armed with my bottle of soapy water.

There were only about 50-60% wearing masks in the shops in Glasgow last weekend and they’re still legally required until 18 April. I’m not sure why you’re even bothering to check what’s happening around you in your neck of the woods - after 2 years, I don’t think many people have an appetite to do any more than they have to (and in Scotland the appetite is clearly to do less).
If it causes a particular issue for you, you’re going to have to just stick to quiet periods to do your shopping.

Maybe you should consider online deliveries, Taf.

I think we should stop agonising over this and get on with our lives. If we are feeling ill and contagious, we all know what to do. No need to keep testing every five minutes. We are turning into a nation of hypochondriacs.

If you remember back to Dec 2020/Jan 2021, when they started coming out with the "act like you have the virus" rhetoric, that's exactly what they were saying. Their playbook not mine

It’s a huge leap from "please be considerate towards others, especially those with vulnerabilities" to "walking murderers"…

I think you are using a definition of "exactly" that dictionary compilers have yet to be acquainted with.

So the talk and messaging to people about "if you break lockdown it could kill your granny" was a huge leap?
They've always been clear the rules were to save lives and so the other side of that coin is without sticking to them you were potentially costing lives...
We know people don't often react as well to the "use your common sense" line as opposed to "you must stay at home except for ..." which is exactly why they decided to engage with psychologists to scare people into restrictions (which they now retrospectively say wasn't needed and was a bad thing) and the whole "it could cost lives if you don't" messaging was definitely a part of it.

Murder is all about malice and the intent to kill though, not about negligence. There's a huge difference.

But that’s exactly what they were implying. If you break lockdown, you know what will happen to granny.
You guys are pulling at hairs.

Not really. Let me explain my thinking.
If you had Covid and went to granny's house with the intention of infecting her and she dies, that could be construed as murder.
If you felt unwell but went out to get a pint of milk without thinking and gave someone in the corner shop Covid and they died, that could not be construed as murder.

The pubic may well agree.
