    Actually isn't the whole point of socially distancing etc is to prolong the pain and flatten the curve. We could have all this over and done with in a few weeks taking the other option. The current strategy is going to see rolling restrictions for well over a year it seems.

    Not suggesting we should take the other option like...
    We don't have enough morgues or capacity for body disposal - that is the real reason for flattening the curve.

      Throw in some face recognition and we are sorteeeed.

      See, all can be solved if there is a will.
      What about those, like my sister who is shopping for herself, me, an elderly neighbour & another at risk?

              Special pass - as long as she buys in bulk rather than making x4 trips. And after it’s over she should get a medal.

                Much of the time your bank is not even part of the authorization procedure. It's called STIP. This whole idea is nonsense if you know the slightest bit about credit card authorizations.

                    Look, do you want to solve problem or just be a loser who says it can’t be? There is card number, expiry date - anything to semi-enforce spread out of behaviour, heck - online booking of slots to visit particular shop to control density.

                    Can do fooking attitude, that’s what needed

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
