How to clear a shop in fifteen minutes!!!!!!!

Pleased I can wear a mask and go to supermarket. The only down side is as I suffer from bronchiectasis I will probably cough loud and long before I have finished shopping making myself the most unpopular person in there. I will probably just leave daughter to carry on doing it for me.

Know what you mean. I venture out for a walk in my mask, sweated, coughed, was breathless, steamed up my glasses so i could not see....

Will keep on with the delivery slot. Masks and Bronch. Do not see, compatible.

Am seeing my daughter for first time on Friday. Really excited,

What can you do? Pete has COPD and coughs quite a bit. He will try wearing a mask but doubt he will be going into any shop anytime soon. Xxx

Would Pete wear a visor Sassy? The clinic I sometimes work in has ordered visors from Aston and Fincher, £3.95 each. They say they're light and comfortable xx

I am the same but I haven't been shopping yet. I will cough too. Don't think I will go shopping yet I am going to get Asda deliveries in the future as my husband and I can get ill at the same time, then I am covered. People used to stare at me coughing anyway when I was out and about, which didn't bother me. I wore a mask yesterday had an urgent eye appointment, sat in there for 2 hours by the end I was sweating so much I couldn't stand it. Breathing was ok even though my 02 levels are low, not sure why probably too scared to take it off. x :)

There will be many of us in this position. I was in a similar position last week in a food shop. I tried so hard to prevent a cough coming outthat I went red in the face trying to suppress it and tried holding my breath. In the end the cough had to come out. A very uncomfortable experience.

I'm in the same boat. FunnY thing is, when I feel a cough coming on, I lower the mask! Actually I wdnt worry so much. Other shoppers may well give thanks that you are playing the game and acting responsibly. PS Try and limit each cough, one for each aisle!

I've worn face covering or masks since early March, I've found a little cough now and again stops the buggers from getting too close

Ha! Thats one way to get your shopping done. I usually suck on a Jackemans sweet to stop my coughing whilst in the shop, it seems to work x
