Some businesses seem to be thriving in this crisis in the real world

[Wines Of The World]

Some have said you shouldn't advertise your wares in this time of Corona Virus if your a 1 type of product outlet and just let the supermarkets get on with it!
Well if Naked Wines in the UK/USA thought that way they might be in trouble today but instead they rose to the occasion and did what they thought best for the public and staff. So it shows that just because the world is in turmoil people do not need to abstain on their favourite things.
That's a huge rise forecast

// Naked Wines to see an excess of £200m in full-year 2020 revenues
// The rise is due to the coronavirus lockdown increasing demand
// High levels of demand recorded from both new and repeated customers

So it shows that just because the world is in turmoil people do not need to abstain on their favourite things.

My point is if you can get what you need, including your favourite tipple, as part of a single journey to a single location with a single set of 'contact' with other people combined whilst getting everything else you need as infrequently as possible, this is what you should be doing rather than multiple trips to multiple locations involving multiple 'contacts'. In my opinion encouraging people to do the later and not the former is irresponsible.

Were learning as we go along !

Chief Constable of some county in UK, was saying on BBC this morning that if people (a minority I agree) continue to flout the rules they (the police) would have to start tightening up. "we don't want to have to take anyone into custody OR stand at the exit of a supermarket and start looking through peoples trolley to see if they are only buying necessities, but we could if we wanted to" Then the rules would be open to interpretation as to what is a necessity.

One thing the UK police are good at and that's talking, look at the state of London, we could blame Sadiq for that! No policeman who be allowed to go through my supermarket trolley that's for sure and I'm sure they know full well that if they tried to stop markets selling alcohol they would have huge trouble on their hands and rightly so in my opinion. It's like a virus is taking us into a communist regime! I could just imagine a government trying to lay down the law as to what I can buy and what I cant

A necessity to one man/woman is not to another and that could never ever work, it would be like yellow vests but in the UK

What's a yellow vest? Seen it in the Tour de France, but I'm sure that's not what you mean!!

I think WotW is referring to the gilets jaunes (yellow vest in French) protest movement in France which brought out rioting in the street because of the demand for economic reform.
