I'm so sad to hear that an Intensive Care nurse from Kings has killed herself today - such a wasted life.

I am so sorry to hear the horrendous story that you have so bravely told. Be strong.

Bet they're glad they closed down at Christmas based on the current situation.

Not just workers lives but those of the police and car drivers plus wherever cars are moved too. This needs to stop in the current circumstances - but it won't.

I've never heard of freezing hens or duck eggs.

Not sure if you meant to say this, but it made me chuckle bearing in mind the title of the thread. Penguin68 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------ > So a run on eggs may not be wholly surprising.

There seems to be a general shortage of eggs all around, don't know why as they have limited shelf life of a couple of weeks max. The butcher I use had none yesterday and said people had been coming from other parts of south London to buy 10 trays at a time from them, they have now restricted quantities of eggs to max one tray per Regular customer.

Look at Italy which we are told we are 2 - 3 weeks behind and which they expect to be the expected peak of the virus so far. it is very scary and I doubt we've seen anything yet in comparison to what is to come. Take a look at the Govt figures I posted earlier today above. The Govt are being very cagey with on when the figures are released and based on yesterday's and today's figures, the mortality rate from the virus is 5.22% and rising on a daily basis.

From : https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#number-of-cases "Number of cases As of 9am on 27 March 2020, a total of 113,777 people have been tested, of which 99,198 were confirmed negative and 14,579 were confirmed positive. As of 5pm on 26 March 2020, 759 patients in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) have died. The figures for test results and for deaths are compiled from different sources. This is why the figures for deaths are reported from an earlier point in time than the figures for test results."

Sainsbo had coffee in stock yesterday lunch time, don't know about potatoes, there seems to be a general shortage of eggs all around, don't know why as they have limited shelf life of a couple of weeks max. The butcher I use had none yesterday and said people had been coming from other parts of south London to buy 10 trays at a time from them, they have now restricted quantities of eggs to max one tray per Regular customer.

Still trading just as they are elsewhere in SE23 and SE26, not sure what point you're attempting to make? Yes, it is a difficult time, I commented on what I factually saw happening this afternoon. It's bad enough queuing to leave the store, let alone go in. But it might just deter those going day after day to stock up though?

It's not that they are not formatted, its also that they ramble on for so long and in places repeat. Would have thought the Police have much more important things to do than produce such long prose.

Well, I've learned from this thread that over 70's are apparently "entitled" to be tested. The reality appears to be that testing has ceased from what is broadcast on the news. The Royal's are likely to have all been tested as Charles has the symptoms, and what else was Andrew tested for? But that's a separate thread in it's own right. What is apparent, is that it's very much a them and us society, (but always has been that way) a bit like the monty python sketch of three blokes all looking down on each other and the third looking up.

No gates on Peckham Rye common.

12.15pm this afternoon, the queue was all around the car park to well past the back wall, 25min wait to get in, then was told at the door to "hurry up" too go in!!!! Whilst in the store, a fight broke out between two guys in the fruit and veg isle, staff not really interceding but happy to run up and watch. The emergency alarm was left to just screech away for ages. Five police cars plus unmarked cars arrived to sort out the altercation. Staff more interested in standing around in groups and chatting, rather then really doing much work and re-stocking the empty shelves.

it's all well and good posting these messages, BUT the reality is that Sainsbury's have had and continue to have no delivery slots available, coupled to now making people queue to go in to the stores in the knowledge they also will queue as usual at check out to leave and thus making the shopping task much longer. ps. can you make your posts more concise.

This is total madness, why are people continuing to panic buy? Why can't people get a grip and start behaving sensibly, where are they storing everything they are buying and why do they need to shop so frequently? Have they not understood the instruction to stay at home and only go out for essentials. Additionally why are delivery slots constantly not available? Even if you are fortunate to get a delivery slot, their is no guarantee that what you have ordered will actually be available for delivery. Wait for stampedes and riots to begin to get food.

Blah Blah - in total agreement with what you say.

Just released from the official data - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#number-of-cases 24/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 infections, 8077, yesterdays figure was 6650 24/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 deaths, 442, yesterdays figure was 335 24/03, % of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 5.47%.

Yes peopel are losing their lives HOWEVER as others have said, IMO it is a vital service.

Asda & Sainsbury's still no delivery slots, if we're suppossed to stay at home when are they going to get on top of this??

The infected figures come from the Government website, so they are officially correct. At least we agree that the 5% who die in hospital who were infected is correct. If the stats are renamed as; 23/03, Number of hospitalised UK covid 19 infections, 6650 23/03, Number of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 335 23/03, % of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 5.04%, 5 in every 100 infected people have died.

The actual Rules from .Gov.UK 23/03/2020 NEW RULES ON STAYING AT HOME AND AWAY FROM OTHERS The single most important action we can all take, in fighting coronavirus, is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives. When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection. That is why the government is now (23 March 2020) introducing three new measures. 1. Requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes 2. Closing non-essential shops and community spaces 3. Stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public Every citizen must comply with these new measures. The relevant authorities, including the police, will be given the powers to enforce them ? including through fines and dispersing gatherings. These measures are effective immediately. The Government will look again at these measures in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible. 1. STAYING AT HOME You should only leave the house for one of four reasons. ● Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible. ● One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household. ● Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person. ● Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home. These four reasons are exceptions - even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household. These measures must be followed by everyone. Separate advice is available for individuals or households who are isolating, and for the most vulnerable who need to be shielded. If you work in a critical sector outlined in this guidance, or your child has been identified as vulnerable, you can continue to take your children to school. 2. CLOSING NON-ESSENTIAL SHOPS AND PUBLIC SPACES Last week, the Government ordered certain businesses - including pubs, cinemas and theatres - to close. The Government is now extending this requirement to a further set of businesses and other venues, including: ● all non-essential retail stores - this will include clothing and electronics stores; hair, beauty and nail salons; and outdoor and indoor markets, excluding food markets. ● libraries, community centres, and youth centres. ● indoor and outdoor leisure facilities such as bowling alleys, arcades and soft play facilities. ● communal places within parks, such as playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor gyms. ● places of worship, except for funerals attended by immediate families. ● hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, campsites, caravan parks, and boarding houses for commercial/leisure use (excluding permanent residents and key workers). 3. STOPPING PUBLIC GATHERINGS To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people. There are only two exceptions to this rule: ● where the gathering is of a group of people who live together - this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home. ● where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should be trying to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace. In addition, the Government is stopping social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious ceremonies. This will exclude funerals, which can be attended by immediate family. DELIVERING THESE NEW MEASURES These measures will reduce our day to day contact with other people. They are a vital part of our efforts to reduce the rate of transmission of coronavirus. Every citizen is instructed to comply with these new measures. The Government will therefore be ensuring the police and other relevant authorities have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings where people do not comply. They will initially last for the three weeks from 23 March, at which point the Government will look at them again and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible.
