Asda are a disgrace.

Most staff have no facecoverings, even less customers.

I won't be going there and it doesn't surprise me they won't be enforcing facecoverings to protect customers.

They've got security employed in the store who only seem interested in any school age customers.
Watching every move they make.
If one of them walked in with a hood over their head, they'd be told to pull it down.


They won't ensure facecoverings are worn in their Store though.
When more people who've been shielding will be starting to go out from the end of next week.

Surprised at Sainsbury's.

I only go for a few items, the bulk we need is delivered.
However I'll make sure I give Asda a miss for sure now, if I need to head out for anything.

Hopeless store anyway in reality in my view.

This is exactly why I do my food shopping online.
Much safer.

This Friday was supposed the opening day of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. They're now planned as Tokyo 2021 but it's not at all clear whether they'll be able to go ahead then.

And even if the Games happen, some athletes will be too old, too exhausted or too financially stretched to wait for another year.

The BBC's Japan correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes spoke to athletes, organisers and pundits about the fading hopes for the sports spectacle to go ahead.

The only time an Olympic Games has been completely cancelled before is because of World War Two, and that games was - you guessed it - 1940 in Tokyo.

Yes we do too, it's just if some things are needed I pop out for them.

We have a small shop, there's only 3 staff in it.
That's where I'll be popping to if the greedy big Stores continue to act irresponsibly.

That shop already has a notice on the door, saying facecovering must be worn on the premises.
It still also only has 2 customers in at any one time too.

If they can do it, so can the greedy big Stores.

I think any Store that refuses to enforce this, then fine them too.
They've usually as I say, got miserable security guards parading around doing next to nothing most of the day, trying to look important.

first infection confirmed from 8 metres distance, in one food factory here in Netherlands, that was inside, also 10 degrees

and then the 1.5 metre distancing doesn't help anything

[Cherie]

Our local BP shop has introduced a one way system recently so that removal by other shops seems to be a management decision

[bitontheslide]

the really stupid thing is that people are wearing masks but not wearing them properly. Wearing them so they dont cover their nose or hanging off one ear. Legally they are still wearing a mask. Social distancing will evaporate as long as the infection rate stays low. People will only start to take notice if they think they have a high probability of catching it and at the moment the chance is something like 1 in 800,000

[MTVN]

I think it might be a legal requirement to have one way in small shops but that doesn't apply over a certain square foot, the guidance has also changed for a lot of shops to increase their maximum capacity as part of 1m plus

I thought it was 1 in 2,000 ?

We use visors at our factory.
And plexiglass that separates everything.

[Vanessa]

I only wear a mask if I go in a shop.
I don't wear it if I'm outside, but when you're out you can social distance.

[LeatherTrumpet]

We have social distance ambassadors now who direct you and control movement like a traffic cop. We also get 3 masks a day now as well and cleansing stations all over the place.

[Cherie]

Just been to Sains, 95% of customers in masks or face coverings, Joey will be pleased to hear the staff shelf stacking were wearing masks and most of the till staff had visors on behind the perspex screen ...not supplied by Sains as I asked

Yes I wonder if a year if long enough
for other nations like Brazil, to even go to Japan.
Covid-19 is getting worse is so many nations now

Compliance very high from what I've seen so far today as well. I've hated it tbh, felt very claustrophobic and not managed to stop it steaming up the glasses yet but I suppose I'll get used to it

[Gypsy]

The reason the major supermarkets are not enforcing the masks is because it leads to confrontation, as the last few weeks have shown with things like customers having to wait outside, 1 person per household, one-way systems etc. One of the security guards in my store has been spat at 3 times since Covid-19 while trying to enforce various measures.

As for the one-way systems being removed I'm glad because they have actually made my job harder and people ignored them anyway

I'm very pleased to hear that.
Particularly too, the shelf stackers.

Thank you Cherie.
