2 metre distancing is the FOOL answer - the FULL answer is that people travelling through/into/ other peoples air bubbles can also catch the virus . ½ an hour of Supermarkets filtered air circulation is not as safe as ½ hour in an aeroplane.
# With a suggested 72 hours life span, travel distance of 2 or 3 metres there needs to be a safer way to shop.
# Accept that people are travelling into and through other peoples air bubbles .
# The legivity of COVID 19 needs to be as serious a consideration as distancing.
Currently to traverse the aisles at the local supermarket be prepared for the 100 metre trolley push.
Rod Derrett 1962 - KIWI EXPRESS should give our song writers inspiration re the perspiration and frustration to cover the 100 metre trolley push, with the self imposed handicap for backtracking because their list was not in order.
Then eventually the arrival at the cough up area - well the pay up area - that takes its toll.
If (Rudyard Kipling's poem could be consideration at keeping our heads and not laying blame) there is a better way.
To reduce the time, distance and passing through multiple air zone bubbles, Instead of aisles upon aisles, an isle - a fast island set up, with the basics, with stock replaced when it is getting low, not 24 hours later when the night staff have done their job, causing customers having to go back again to get what wasn't there, and maybe gone again - perhaps they got that cunning plan from Baldrick.
If you only want the basics say a top up of 20 items or so, imagine if they were all within a few metres reach. Think of the time saved. Think of the reduced risk.
Well maybe they may will have a variation if there is another outbreak.
MAYBE they may see that they have more happier customers with less outlay and more prophets telling them it is a good thing to do. Though they will be more interested in the profits.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
