separate supermarket hours for oaps and nhs staff

Has this been resolved at all the supermarkets yet? Previously some of the supermarkets were having hours just when NHS staff and OAPs could shop - which presumably is not a good idea in having the most likely to be infected and the most vulnerable in close proximity... when presumably ideally you'd have separate designated times for each group.

Sainsbury's local to me is doing it 6-7am

But is that for both groups? Presumably it'd be better to give them separate hours or alternate days or something...

Our Iceland is open 9-10 for oaps. Then 5-6 for nhs.

They seem to have forgotten this will mean lots of people will flock on a weekend. All those of us the work Monday to friday (even when wfh) cant shop during the week with those hours.

So weekends will be busy again.

Not sure how to resolve it...apart from every just being bloody sensible.
