Shame

SHAME   We are hearing  so much about  PPE and not the Oxford sort .  My grandson is working in Sainsbury's  - a  basic wage job , until Uni restarts  -we hope. He is classified as a front line worker - and with all its cash Sainsbury is not supplying  ANY protecticve clothing . I dont mean the full scrub of course but there are no gloves and no masks provided .  Henry's  young work group are in the  store by  4 am  . Their job is to  pack click and collect food orders  many for shoppers who are self isolating  because they have covid 19 symptoms  or are vulnerable . And still this multi million store cannot  supply their young  (mostly students) early morning team with gloves and masks My grandson supplies his own gloves and I have ordered a sturdy mask from France ,hoping it arrives soon . Meanwhile his Mum ,my daughter has bought several disposable masks which she found in a small pharmacy - by chance .  Again we were clapping tonight not only for our dedicated NHS
