I could Lolly, but don't like having to wait in for them.

I order them on line and then I can go to my local pharmacy at my time and choosing.

Lolly, I literally wash my hands dozens of times a day, I am borderline obsessive with it.
When we get back from outside / supermarket shopping I wash my hands twice for at least 15 to 20 seconds each time.
I have something called ‘Buff’ neckwear, basically a cylinder of material which I pull up over my face when I’m outside, but I really need to buy some proper face masks.
Given my age and health I DO NOT want to catch this horrible bug.

After Morrisons shut I went to Sainsburys in Westhoughton but Ihave not been for a month now and my affair with Anne Leon is on hold for the foreseeable future is on hold:(

Our local chemist used to have a great delivery service, Lolly, but they’re now asking that people collect prescriptions instead due to the current demands.

There is one benefit due to this bug

Lockdown 'may lead to aggressive seagulls'
People living on the coast are being warned that seagulls may be more aggressive than usual due to a drop in food sources amid the coronavirus lockdown.
With people told to stay at home during the virus outbreak the number of visitors to the seaside has dropped dramatically.

As a result, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has warned gulls may be behaving more aggressively than usual.

The authority said: "Coastal residents are being advised that, due to a lack of food sources, seagulls may be more hungry than normal and may behave aggressively.

"Residents are asked not to eat on the seafront areas, to encourage the birds to fend for themselves away from towns."

Between the 20 of them how many have been tested, and why has he been allowed into Germany.

Because he has money and privilege. It does make one wonder about the testing though. Let's hope none of the entourage carries in the virus or there will be h-ll to pay.

I think he left his 4 wives at home

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for tests, 10 days after testing positive for coronavirus, Downing Street has said.

He "continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus", a spokeswoman said - including a high temperature.

It was described as a "precautionary step" taken on the advice of his doctor.

The prime minister remains in charge of the government and urged people to follow its social distancing advice.

"This is a precautionary step, as the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus ten days after testing positive for the virus."

She added: "The prime minister thanks NHS staff for all of their incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the government's advice to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives."
