Supermarkets have remained open during both national lockdowns and new data collated by Public Health England (PHE) from the NHS Test and Trace App has revealed that shops are the most frequent Covid exposure setting...They looked at the contacts of those who had caught the virus and retraced the steps of 128,808 people who tested positive.
Of those who tested positive, it was found that 18.3 per cent had visited a supermarket...
It was revealed that 12.7 per cent of those who tested positive had attended secondary school and 10.1 per cent had attended a primary school...[however, pre-school accounted for only 1.6%]

Why would supermarkets be 10x higher risk than pre-schools? Most likely, cashiers and stockers are subject to repeated exposures at work. According to an article in the Daily Mail, cashiers and stockers in the UK who were contact traced (and by default, grocery pickers/ delivery drivers??) are 20x more likely to contract covid, 75% of which are asymptomatic. Which would seem to co-relate with the findings in the Sun article.
The hell you say. Who needs to go grocery shopping?
How many people victims have drunk water since the outbreak began? THERE'S your culprit. We must ban drinking water!
Up is down. Black is white. Silenice is noise. Correlation is causation!
Morons.
Hey! I got an idea. Close the grocery stores. No food for you! For one year!
And 100% who tested positive had drank water...
It is probably due to breathing in the virus particulates.
If everyone would stop breathing, the problem would resolved itself.

Only buy your food at convenience stores in England?
be nice now. I’m trying to present evidence that closing bars, gyms and restaurants is wrong-think. (and barring teens from supermarkets might be a better idea)
oh my goodness!! This is unreal!
My nephew and his wife live in NM and cannot go to AZ for Thanksgiving to be with my sister and brother in law. It is beyond stupid!!
God help us.
And they could get the same results even if none of those 18.3 percent actually caught the COVID at a supermarket. What a ridiculous report.
Three guesses as to where I now work. And the first two don't count.
That NM Gov is as crazy as witch Witless, in MI.
Why can’t your nephew go to AZ?? Will they not be allowed back in to NM? By whom????
Only off the Food Trucks!
A grocery store?
