GIVE UP YOUR DELIVERY SLOT

DO YOU do your grocery shopping online? Well, if you’re young, fit and healthy, I plead with you not to – go out to the supermarket and leave the delivery slots free for those who can’t get out.

Online delivery services are totally inundated with orders, with reports of some waiting up to a month for an available delivery time. This will be disastrous for the thousands who are self-isolating,and are reliant on these services for vital food and medicines.

But if every person who could go out to the shops to get their stash did, we’d have far more delivery slots available for people who really need them. If you’re healthy, there’s no reason why you can’t go shopping – so long as you keep at a reasonable distance from others and wash your hands when you get home.
