I had COVID in October, so I had to isolate and had to use a home delivery service. It was hardly possible to get a slot and at the time COVID infections were a lot lower than they are now.
It ill behoves me to defend the government but the goal has to be to reduce places where people come into contact. As supermarkets are plainly required to feed us there is no point pretending that they are anything other than vital. Pubs, restaurants, gigs, etc. are low down the list of what has to be reopened and I miss them as much as anything but instead of bleeting constantly of being the whipping boys just accept that you and we will all have to wait. I'd rather wait a few weeks longer than risk yo-yoing between open and closed and if you are honest so would you.
