Watched the government advice, and decided to check out internet shopping. 15 days waiting list for delivery slots - with a £4 delivery charge and £40 minimum order size. Absolutely perfect for over 70s who are not used to monthly shopping"!!!!!! In store collection of pre-paid goods are the same.

So how are the government going to either force social distancing in supermarket queues? If vulnerable people have to go to convenience stores instead - how will government force them to price match so people on low incomes can still afford to shop? How do government plan to keep fresh food safe to eat?

There needs to be an immediate investment in home delivery capacity, possibly at least double maybe much more and emergency legislation to force supermarkets to reduce delivery times to no more than 2 days and waive delivery costs and minimum order sizes. For example there is a limit to what I can buy and keep fresh and if I have to spend £40 I need to buy stuff I don't need or be forced to bulk buy.

People on low incomes may be able to do this once or twice, but everyone gets to a stage where all that people need is to replenish stuff that runs out.
