I thik am storing it all up for when I come on forums, as I dare not post any statuses to do with it, as its divided the country even more than brexit did, and anyone who posts anything, be it that they are a lockdown fan, or think things are to strict, gets jumped on immediately.

Am awaiting a pile on actually, as saying that I did post what I think is my first covid related status this morning. After reading about people kicking off that some shops are still selling clothes. As clothes are not a necessity apparently. like, try having yung children who grow at a ridiculous rate, or speaking to the likes of NHS staff who are working so long/hard that their uniforms are hanging on by threads. Yeah, theres the amazn option, however..my experience of clothes buying on amazon, or online in general really..has been you order a size 14, and it comes 3 weeks later and says 14 but is either a 6 or a 20

I cannot begin to even try working out how its been deemed clothes are not essential, yet takeaway coffee and mcdonalds and such is..

I think it’s moreso that takeaway food that can produce it under covid reactions is deemed essential, it’s not McDonald’s. And I agree with it. There will be hospital nurse/doctor shift workers and other essential workers working 13 hour shifts and getting a takeaway after working 8am-9pm could be something they require / deemed essential. There are many more examples that could be given for example.

Quite a few of my friends working in the hospital will get a takeaway after their really long shifts as they don’t have the time to shop or cook something and usually the shops are closed by the time they finish, often they get called in on the day or as an emergency so they can’t prepare food in advance.

I do agree with the clothes as well though, they should just restrict the number of people able to enter the shop and have someone who does that, meaning people should expect queues outside shops, And so i agree with you there
