Subject: RE: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
In Australia a couple of major supermarket chains have introduced an hour a day for the elderly and for disabled people. It started yesterday. Eligible people need to show a relevant government-issued ID card, e.g. pension or Seniors card etc or disability card.

Good idea but they didn't think one thing through. The people with carers who help them with their shopping. The carers were not allowed in because they were not eligible.

At least one supermarket chain has acknowledged that their strategy needs some tweaking.
