Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Who are these stupid, selfish people??!
I was just in Sainsbury's on Green Lanes and was appalled to see the way people are panic-buying. I was unable to buy pasta or soup. And the sight of so many people filling their trolleys with toilet roll made me want to scream!!! Totally pathetic and unnecessary!
Some people were clearly loving the drama but giving no thought to those who might now not be able to get the small supplies they need. Should be ashamed!!!

Those cases are only for people who are admitted to hospital. If you're not admitted, even if you're staff, you're not tested and therefore, not counted. It's much more prevalent than the counting would seem to indicate.

Much more prevalent!
I know personally six people with a fever and cough and I don't know that many people. They have no connection to one another. They have been told do not phone your GP, do not ring the NHS helpline, you will not be tested, stay home on your own.
It is totally counterproductive that people are not tested particularly health workers e.g. a front-line doctor with a cough has to stay at home for 7-14 days even when it may not be Coronavirus because they have not been tested, this is wrong. Please sign the petition below and e mail MPs.

Sainsbury's have sent me an e mail. I have very occasionally received deliveries from the in the past.
The gist is,
1/ as from Thursday 19th March the first hour of opening of Sainsbury stores will be reserved for elderly and vulnerable (they hope people will respect this)
2/ From Monday 23rd March on-line customers who "are over 70 years old or who have a disability" will have priority to on-line delivery slots.
3/ From Monday 23rd there will be more 'click and collect' slots and are increasing the shops offering this.
4/ From 18th March customers will be limited to three of any grocery product and two of popular products such as soap, toilet paper and UHT milk to enable a larger number of customers to purchase them.
Some parts of Sainsburys will close eg cafe and meat, fish pizza counter to free up storage and lorry capacity.
I think this is very welcome news.

Yes this is welcome news. Good that they are prioritising those who need it most! And it's clear rationing products is now needed to stop those selfish idiots from stock-piling what they don't need

Thanks Maggie. Good to see sanity finally breaking out among the supermarkets. Iceland's opening hour this morning was again very civilised. SAVERS, however, are in need of a Saviour and some Security at the door to take out their daily shoplifters - but I've been telling them that for months.

I was in Sainsburys yesterday, the 19th. It would have been nice to be limited to three of any grocery product. But in most cases there wasn't even one of them available.

You are right, I only hope they don't forget to buy a lot of condoms, the world has already enough idiots

I noticed that a lot of the things that had sold out in Sainsbury's were still available in the local shops on Green Lanes. Yavuzlar for example were operating a one-in one-out policy to stop crowding so people could have some distance around them. I really appreciated that, having been bumped and pushed several times in Sainsbury's. Somehow the social distancing thing hasn't got through at all, which made my weekly shopping trip really stressful. I talked to one of the local shopkeepers and it is just crazy all day. The shop staff are being run ragged, so be kind to them.

The social distancing has been shot in the foot by the government's reassurance that "for most, the coronavirus symptoms are little more than a bad cold." It was a big, big mistake and though they are trying to reverse it now it is too little too late. Let me risk the ire of many by saying it is obvious the young have a more relaxed attitude. Their main concern is their exam results. Let us not blame them too much. They have listened to what the government says.

One of the main symptoms of the common cold is a blocked nose and sneezing.
High percentage of Corona sufferers are not reporting these symptoms.
Sketchy mixed messages out there what mild symptoms Covid19 actually entails.
