Most of the face coverings I've seen in the supermarket either won't do the job(because they're thin scarves that will soon moisten and offer little no no effective barrier in or out) or are being worn very badly - ie, not properly fitted to the face, they're constantly being removed and hung around chins /necks so the the wearer can scratch/talk on the phone.etc and seem to be offering a false sense of security to their owners. Most of the mask wearers I've encountered in the supermarket seem to believe that they're now immune to everything and *will* invade your 2 metre zone.
I suffer from an allergy-driven rhinitis that this year has manifested itself as a dry cough rather than the traditional sniffles. I normally rein it in a fair bit bit I'm tending to 'let it go' a bit in the supermarket when faced with one of these berks. I've also taken to using my trolley to 'block' aisles so people can't sneak up behind me. |
Tho the aisle blocking thing can be just as problematic when people stop to urgently update their Facebook profile, to ponder for 10 minutes which one of a stack of 500 identical tins of beans they want to purchase, or simply because their brain has fallen out. That behaviour is fine in normal times, but nowadays there is a fidgety queue building up, full of people who think 2 metres is the same as a yard. Not to mention the three shoppers who are queueing from the wrong direction. [Post edited 4 May 2020 13:27]

I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Be prepared for a couple of bumps on the way - it seems to have a way of wiping you out so that you have a few relapses on the way back just when you're starting to feel better. My sister felt like going for a walk and my brother-in-law decided to have a glass of wine with dinner - both decisions put them back into bed for a day. |  |

This is where you need to pre-plan.
Credit card out of wallet already in back pocket ready for the checkpoint. Remove left glove, insert credit card, then use gloves right hand to put in PIN number....... left hand to put credit card back into pocket, glove back on.... get the hell out of there!! Dispose of gloves. |
You must have better disposable gloves than me! Mine are impossible to remove without the fingers turning inside out and would be impossible to replace without touching the insides with the other potentially exposed glove.  |  | | |

Thank you to all for your comments and best wishes.
She’s still responding well to treatment and the consultant said they’re going to try and get her off the oxygen today (as I said to someone earlier, I’m presuming he means the assisted oxygen as opposed to any at all!) so it’s just a case of waiting really! I spoke to her earlier and she sounded quite groggy and not making a lot of sense (due to the meds) but that’s as much of an update as I have! |  |

I honestly don't understand why people don't have a soap dispenser in the car.
Just the regular push top type you buy anywhere.
Some way full with antiseptic disinfectant and washing up liquid, filled up with water.
Some kitchen roll to dry. |  |

Good to hear they're hoping to take her off the oxygen, sounds like a big step in the right direction. Send our regards. |  | | |
