Exactly, get mad at people like this, not people who are trying to feed their families. Yeesh.
Stop shopping in pairs/as a family!

Not mad at all . Not in the least . What do I care if they all get sick . It's these people who voted in Trump . Not me . He's the one that said it's only 15 people that are sick . This will all blow over . How's that working out for them .None of this would be happening if he took this virus seriously .
They are Americans . They have great health care . Just as long as they stay on their side of the border . You're not going to feed your family if you are sick are you .
By your post you must be working to feed yourself . Good luck and take care .
Yeesh
Well I do get out once and awhile . Nothing wrong with what you are doing but most people are couples . Just have to open yours eyes and see it . If you are driving someone than stay in the car until that person comes out .
It's becoming a shitshow, thinking of ordering meal kits online with delivery. A little on the pricy side with small portions.
Yes, smaller markets are great. No crazy long lines compared to the big name chains.
If you have a local grocer in your area and maybe a butcher shop or bakery, you're laughing. I'm not eating much fresh produce at the moment though for hygienic reasons. Sticking to mostly canned or frozen. I buy a bag of apples and leave them outside for a couple of days. Cabbage I leave outside. I started washing my lemons, limes, and avocados when I get them home.
Still buying pears but now I poach them.
A few days ago, some German researchers reported that they believe transmission is likely from being in close quarters with someone infected. It's very possible if you think about the real danger of asymptomatic transmitters and it appears that many people don't ever exhibit any symptoms. That's why the virus spreads so fast.
I am hoping this is true. We can't live with this fear that every package and box has been infected. The Fedex delivery guy could deliver an infected box. Yikes!
That's why I spray and wipe every package I get . They just drop it off . No need to sign anything . Don't know if it helps but I feel better for doing it . Then I wash my hands really good .
My comment was actually agreeing with you. But I should know better than to try to engage even positively with you. My fault.
Why? We are still two people taking up 2 spots. It doesn't make sense not to just stay together, that doesn't lessen our risk or anyone elses, or heighten it. It makes no logical sense. Don't want to pass 2 people in an aisle? You shouldn't be passing people anyway.
If a couple go in together they are taking up 2 spots . Stores only allow a certain number of people in the store . Now if you had a store that only allowed 50 people in at once that means only 25 families are shopping . The second person is taking up a spot . If that second person stayed out of the store than you would 50 families shopping at one time . Not 25 with couples .
The line ups would be go faster and people wouldn't have to wait outside for a long time period . Now if you go in with a roomy that's a different story . Both are shopping for each other .
Couples only shop for one family . 5 couples equals 5 families . 10 single people shopping means 10 families shopping .
Same thing with couples bringing in their kids . Those kids are taking up spots that other people would be using .
Many stores only allow 1 person per family to go in . More people shopping that way . Now If a single parent brings in a kid then that's a different ball game .Not everyone has somebody to watch their kid while shopping .
Not worried about the risk here . It's the time wasted outside waiting for a ma and pa doing their shopping when one person would suffice . 1 person means more people shopping .
Like I said In Sweden the curve has bot been flattened, they will even see more spikes in the daily confirmed cases and daily deaths around the 20th of this month since they are not practicing social distancing.
Unfortunately regardless of it being repeated over and over billions of times some of you simply don’t understand the importance of a symptomatic carriers with the Coronavirus and the fact that they are in many cases asymptomatic for weeks before showing any signs of having the virus in effect spreading the virus to even more people unknowingly.
Sweden did not go for flattening the curve, they went for the herd immunity. They believe that preventing the damage to the economy from the lock down (and consequent damage to people, including health damage both psychological and physical due to less income) is more important than saving extra lives. I am saying that in Canada the curve has flattened already. The Swedes will be go over the top of their curve soon (they will never have a flat region) while we will stay on that plateau with existing semi-quarantine measures for many months. The Swedes will have large proportion of their population die from COVID, we will have greater damage to the economy with all its negative consequence. Pretty simple trade off, but it is really hard to say which way is better. And it is not correct to say that saving lives always better: if it was true, every "good" country that got attacked should capitulate immediately to save the lives. Hell, we should ban hockey and all contact sports due to possibility of life-threatening incidents and should make smoking a criminal offence.
I find there's no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes I go to the grocery store at 10am and there's no one. Other times I show up at 3pm and there's a massive lineup.
But once inside a lot of idiot people still aren't respecting personal space, getting close to me and coughing and shit. Next time I'm bringing my hockey stick to keep others at a distance. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...cing-warnings-using-hockey-sticks/5136090002/
This is beyond foolish....
If 2 people live in same household they either BOTH have virus or NEITHER have virus
If BOTH have virus it makes no diff which one you run into you now have it
If NEITHER have virus and you dont have virus none of you catch it
If NEITHER have virus and YOU have virus you transmit to their family, regardless of 1 or 2 people in store when they contact each other they both have it
Plus the obvious fact many parents etc cant leave kids at home or having 2 people shopping gets the shopping done quicker
Most stores have no lines
I think anyone standing in lines to buy groceries are total idiots
Act most of the big line stores tend to be the lower class ones like Walmarts so maybe that says something
Never seen a line at a Starsky or a Sobey location
I guess you don't get out much . You're an idiot if you stand in line . Well than you must grow your own food . No lines at Starsky or Sobey . That's because they are expensive stores to shop in to begin with . Why would anyone pay higher prices at those stores when you can it for less at another store .
Food Basic , No Frills , Lococos , Freshco, Fortinos and Nardinis have lines . Sometimes the lines are not that big and you only wait a few minutes . You still have to line up . The worst store for lines is Costco . It will be a long time before I shop at Costco again . Not going to wait an hour to shop in there.
I find if you go shopping near the end of the day the lines are very short . Like it was at Food Basics last night .
Placed an order of Italian sausage and chicken legs at Nardinis by phone yesterday . They called me when the order was ready that night . Went to pick it up . Called them when I was there . They brought me my bags outside . With in a few minutes I was going home . 3 other cars where waiting as well . Fast and easy .
