Have been asking my dad to register for online shopping for a few days.
My sister set and account up for my dad last night. Earliest delivery slot was the 7th of April. He’s being pretty sensible, but he survived the 1957 flu pandemic so has a mildly blasé attitude “of course some people died but we didn’t go on about it back then” 😩

Had another stern conversation with him earlier. It’s just so if it comes to it he has the option and is prepared. I am assuming things will calm down and in due course people won’t be needing to book slots weeks in advance
Getting his email just now to say he has registered successfully was a huge relief.
