I have been doing self isolation for the last 5 days but today i had to go out to get groceries as i was running out and what i have noticed is the prices off certain things have went up since this covid19 has taken hold (24x330ml diet irn bru ) normal price between £6 / £6.50 now within a week £7 (Supermarket M ) so are supermarkets cashing in on certain products.

Now i know there was a pharmacist down south who put there Paracetmol up 1000% and where investigated and where let off due to them ssying it was an Admin error , so is it happenjng under our noses but because of whst else is happening where not noticing as quick as we eould usually

Technically, you're not self isolating. That's for those with symptoms

Not sure how it would be enforced but I think profiteering is illegal. Alas I think desperation and lack of resources will mean its difficult to control though.

I could be showing no signs of covid19 but be a carrier too but I need to work 12hrs 5nights a week. Some of us are not fortunate enough to get the choice.

Correct.

Some people just want to be awkward and split hairs.

Usually the same ones as well

Shop prices have been increasing since it was decided we leave the EU.

Then this thing happens and away we go with more price rises.

More visits to Aldi and Lidl I suspect !!!
