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...
That’s it. Stay out of British Supermarkets!
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.
How open have UK restaurants and bars been? How many people have been frequenting them versus going to supermarkets? Particularly among the most vulnerable?
Their earlier report was it was not a ‘hotspot’ for covid- said it was ‘hard to get covid from supermakets and off packages” etc-
On other breaking news, Egg yolks are now bad for you and real butter is not once again
People in the UK go the supermarket more often than people in the U.S.
How does that figure in the figures? Who knows?
“18.3 per cent had visited a supermarket”
Well just damn. It’s not like most of us are out checking our traps and deer hunting instead of going to frickin Safeway.
These jackasses are going to try to shut down supermarkets soon. Wouldn’t surprise me. The goal is 2 mile bread lines and everyone equally suffering, after all.
As the disease has become political and the statisticians are hired by the government in power we do not know SH-t about the spread and danger of the disease. Oddly we do but those numbers are never published.
It is a bad disease but not catastrophic. It has killed millions will kill more millions until herd immunity and the vaccine is available in mass.
Our lock downs and mask policy are mostly bull. Oddly the mask is moderately effective if you are coughing and thus prevents airsoled virus particles. Otherwise it is worthless.
Why, that’s impossible! Everyone at my supermarket wears a face diaper. Some even wear a full face shield on top of it!
If every business is closed, except food and fuel businesses, and no money flows into the system because of losses of employment, eventually food and fuel businesses will close as well ..... except for those persons that are selected to be exempt .... or wealthy enough to be not broken by the initial collapse
No kidding, it’s the only business still open.
I’m not sure I would want to eat British food on a good day. After watching TV cooking shows about English food, I’m not sure I would want to eat anything from the UK except for shortbread cookies.
Yeah, that’s why grocery workers worldwide aee dropping dead.
Oh, wait...
I believe that Walmart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe’s are going to start imposing metering to limit the number of people in the store.
