Staggering behaviour round here.
I said to my wife tonight, if a REALLY, seriously more lethal pandemic ever hit the world....we are all fooked.
Work, staggering lack of social distancing as soon as a significant section of the workforce are left to their own devices.
Town...christ, you'd never know there was a pandemic.
My weekly visit to a supermarket tonight...they're selling fireworks. FFS, a non socially distanced queue to by bl**dy fireworks.
Alcohol aisles were chocker.
Queues at the tills, social distancing is collapsing, it's almost non existent now.
I mentioned it to the till op, she said it was far worse earlier today, and as we spoke, a family were itching right up to me, impatience.
I'm gonna start shopping somewhere a bit upmarket where hopefully people use their heads.
I shake my head in disbelief at the astounding stupidity of people...more and more.

Pretty much this.
There is a huge chunk of people who either don’t care or don’t believe, or both.
There is a shocking amount of snowflakes who believe being told to do something to keep them safe is an infringement of their rights, because potentially dying isn’t worse, and dying from basically choking on fluid in their lungs.
In short many people are selfish tossers these days, sorry for the language.

I think it's because they don't see the deaths and it happens to other people.

Maybe judging how serious a worldwide pandemic is by who Craig knows isn't the best idea.

It doesn't seem to matter here. Sainsburys and M&S are as bad as Tesco and The Range. Posher people tend to read news from more anti-rules nobbers, perhaps.
Do what you can, including fast shopping, putting your trolley behind you in the queue and favouring open air markets and open front shops where they still exist.

Harrods of King's Lynn closed many years ago. No food hall, neither. Excellent Caribbean restaurant there instead now: Soul Café and Restaurant.

Since the beginning of the pandemic we've pretty much hunkered down at home. I went out for sporadic bike rides when the weather was warmer. Then I just vegged like a couch potato. I've decided enough is enough and last week I started getting on the elliptical again. 5 min on Friday, 10 min on Saturday, 15 min on Sunday, 20 min yesterday and another 20 min today. We have a close knit block and we have been occassionally hanging with a neighbor across the street as well as 3 other families, all of whom have been diligent with being safe. But yesterday we found out that one of these families went down south to a relatives and came back with the 'rona. So, the jig is up. No one is hanging with anyone anymore. Our only scare was when my wife found out that one of her employees had someone in her home test postive. So my wife and son and I went to get tested about a month and a half ago and fortunately we all tested negative. I kind of like being a homebody. It allows me to perfect my new hobby which is cooking. Came up with a great chili recipe, as well as a beef stew recipe. An the other day I made an amazing ham and cheese quiche with some of the leftover ham from Christmas. I also made a nice split pea soup with the same ham. And for Christmas I made an appetizer of dates, stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped in bacon and then drizzled with honey. Amazing. I decided I'm going to make the chili again for the Super Bowl and will also make some authentic Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings. I have a large propane fired turkey fryer that I'll use to fry the wings. And I have the Anchor Bar's recipe for their sauce which I find to be insanely delicious. I didn't spend 4 years in Buffalo for college for nothing.
