So its starting to kick off slowly

its not kicking off at all apart from in the dross reporting we have been dumbed down with over a number of years.....everything is a crisis or drama.........
Supermarkets are NOT struggling to stock their shelves but the 'news' bigging up a story is what is actually causing issues

might be your area Dreamer, Where i live sunderland, We had 30 people fight in the local B&Q, then the ram raid. But would be down to the fact, they cannot fight over foot ball yeah your right about stories been blew well out, that's what caused the panic buying. My friend who works in the NHS, he said Andy its not as major as it is, but that was a few weeks ago before the lock down. He blaimed the news for it . Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

It does make me think a bit though. If I don't visit my frail 86 year-old mum (who lives four miles away) and is in the 12 week lockdown, she won't see anyone else at all. I justify it as looking after a vulnerable person, and I'm doing any shopping she needs, but I'm still not sure if strictly I'm actually allowed to.

Joe. You’re allowed to shop for essentials and take a solitary walk (or with household members) once a day. Why not choose a supermarket near your mum, do your shop, leave your car in the car park and walk to your mum, have a 15min chat through the window and then walk back. Can’t see you’re breaking any rule and you could do it without taking the p*** every third day.  Monsieur Le Grenadier

I'm in the same position Joe, my dad is 75 and isolating on his own so somebody has to get his shopping for him. I buy what he needs and take it round, drop it on the doorstep, ring the bell and move back 4-5 metres before he comes out. We have a chat for 10 minutes with him in the hallway and me on the drive (not sure how that'll work out when it's raining ). If i'm following the social distancing rules and staying well away from my dad then i don't see a problem, someone has to shop for him.

Red Bull motorsport boss Helmut Marko said he advised his drivers to become infected with coronavirus while the season is in hiatus.

The 76-year-old said he had the idea to bring his Formula 1 drivers and juniors together in a camp, which "would be the ideal time for the infection to come".

"They are all strong young men in good health. That way they would be prepared whenever the action starts," he said.

The rest of Red Bull management were against the idea, which was abandoned.

I'm only on the other side of the hill, just sounds normal for some of the more mental bods on your side!!

joking aside I firmly believe we need to be very careful about blowing things out of proportion or potentially exaggerating stuff as unfortunately most of the 'lemons' believe all of the hype at the best of times
