  • My wife and daughter are both high risk and have been isolated for three weeks. Two weeks ago, after much discussion, it was decided that I move out of our house as I was still working and I have to guy the groceries etc for them. I also buy the groceries for my mother who is isolated too - she is elderly and high risk too.
    I moved in with my bro in law and my sister in law, who is also high risk, moved into my house.
    This is day 14 of the plan and it is not easy at all. Living in someone else’s house is much more difficult than I expected.
    Last week I was given the opportunity to furlough and it starts today. So I am now isolating for a week in the hope that I can move home on Saturday. Once home, we will all isolate until the end or until I have to return to work (Reasonably likely).
    I have organised grocery deliveries but am struggling with deliveries from chemists so that is my mission for today - trying to get chemists to deliver.
    Not an easy time for anyone.

  • Could you pay a courier to collect medicine from a pharmacy instead of relying on the pharmacy to arrange a delivery for you? Also, I don't know if it's the same for you but I've had flyers through the door with details of a group of local people who are willing to collect groceries and medicine for vulnerable/high risk people in the community. Worth checking on social media to see if there's something similar in your area!

  • I’m not sure you can do that. They are funny about who they give medicine to here. All the chemists here are fully booked for deliveries which is the issue.
