. But there were no eggs, tinned tomatoes, pasta, hardly any milk and only one loaf of bread

WB, have you seen the Morrison’s food boxes? 2 person supply of food for 1 week , you can’t tailor the contents (but there is a vegetarian and meat eater version) but it will include essentials. Hopefully more supermarkets will things do this.5

Tea it was coming Wednesday. It was cancelled as they couldn't identify me as in the vunerable category. I didn't get through. Will try again first thing
GC I did see it but there's no delivery slots on Mr M either. I couldn't even find how to find the boxes and I'm not sure how I'd feel spending £35. On items I don't know what's coming? I wonder how it will work

I'm full on emotional tonight.
I'm not sure how closes most will have followed the new guidance being pushed through. But the NICE guidelines on who will qualify for ICU intervention on who won't has really broken me.
In short anyone they deem in that most vunerable section won't qualify for life SAVING treatment. Covid illness or otherwise. They will be given palliative care to keep ventilators and beds free from those who are deemed 'more worthy' the likes of those still ignoring guidance. That person still gathering in groups moaning about how the pubs closed etc. Will take preference over someone like MY child who is doing everything asked.
How can this be real? How can this be the world we are in.
NICE have taken on board the absolute backlash from this and apparently it will be better explained. Doesn't make it any easier what's been said and published though“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”5 -
