I haven't seen where it says that when going shopping it must be driver only but suspect it's a misreading or disinformation and I'm surprised and disappointed if shops are allowing it.
Apart from it being completely unnecessary shopping as a couple is a dumb and thoughtless thing to do.
Why?
Because shopping together exposes both to contracting the virus instead of just one, or even picking it up on their hands or clothing and carrying it further afield.
Because it doubles the number of people in the same area which can only compromise social distancing.
Because it doubles, if not exponentially, increases the chances of non symptomatic victims (that's both of you for all you know) transmitting the virus to others and if nothing else about it pricks your bubble that it what you have the LEAST RIGHT OF ALL TO DO!
I seems that some people have yet to grasp this is not a game and that the virus is as potentially deadly today as it was on day one, all the lockdown has done is reduce the speed of it spreading, start playing silly buggers and taking the pi55 and it will likely end very badly - and that could mean for YOU AND YOURS!
Still think going shopping holding hands is a good idea?
