I have never wanted on-line deliveries. Since retiring, have enjoyed my weekly Sainsbury visit, taking my time going round,, comparing prices, etc. Although I am nearly 79yrs old, did not feel I was going to change this behavior.
I do know the figures, and even for oldies like me, it is not a choice between staying in all the time, or dying.
So once a week I have given myself and my car a run out to my nearest Sainsbury, during the 8 - 9 am oldies hour. I do wear a face mask in there ( the only time that I wear that) more to re-assure other people, than I feel it does me any good.=). Never felt in any danger whatsoever there. Everybody, other shoppers and all staff are helpful and keep their distance.
Fear is such an all-consuming feeling - people do need to think about exactly what they are afraid of......Do they not go out at all during the bad year winter flu seasons?, etc. That can kill very many people.
It is being more accepted by many 'experts' that the open air is so much less dangerous than being indoors. yes, we are indoors at a supermarket, but it is a very large area. Would not suggest, just yet, for people to go on a bus for this, but if they can drive, or walk then it can do them a great deal of good.
