Supermarket when you’re covid positive

[GemGEmGemster]

Not to start a bunfight, I just want to know. Would you go supermarket shopping when you were testing positive?

Probably- I’d wear a mask though

No I wouldn't unless I absolutely had too.

No way. I’d do an online order.

For essentials if I had no one else to go for me maybe. When I did have it I used deliveroo for some stuff but that was limited and my mum did the rest. Also there’s home delivery I guess but the supermarkets here are notoriously fuckin shit for this I don’t even think anyone bothers anymore!

No, but I know people who have. One didn't care, has never taken it seriously. The other needed a few essentials, went at a quiet time with a mask on.

I'd do it online but I'm sure lots of people do. If you need to then go or do a click and colllect?

No of course not. I would follow the guidance.

No, but I wouldn't need to - I could order online or wait until DH got home, or ask family to pop down for me.

Not everyone has a choice, though.

No. I think it’s a really stupid thing to do.

I’d order online or text a friend/neighbours.

Nope. But I have access to lft for free as I work on a ward. So I’d know I was positive and also get paid to be off work and I would isolate until at least one negative.

Nope. It would be selfish and irresponsible.

If I absolutely had to, yes. Obviously I'd wear a mask and wash/sanitise my hands thoroughly.

No I wouldn’t.

If I had to. Friends of mine live in North Wales and there is one 'supermarket' with zero click and collect or delivery so I understand that some have no other choice.

Wouid you go to the shops with a cold?

Yes, if I felt well enough. COVID’s not a cold though.

Yes I would

If I struggled to get a delivery slot, yes, with a mask on and keeping away from people

No we used online shops and Deliveroo if we were desperate or had cravings.

No, do an online shop.
It’s selfish and irresponsible.
I’ve just had Covid and it was not pleasant. I didn’t go out whilst I was testing positive as I wouldn’t have wanted to pass it onto anyone.

I wouldn't know if I was positive anymore, no longer testing in this house.

Absolutely not

You do not that entire towns do not have this option right?

No, absolutely not.
I’m a teacher, and if I test positive, that’s me isolating for five (or more) days, as per my school’s current rules. That will have a knock-on effect for many children. I’m trusting the people I will encounter in the supermarket this weekend to not be positive.
