Paid Members chokeout Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 In slightly more sensible news. I live about 2 hours from my parents who are both in their 70s. I don't want them going out any more than they need to because they both have health issues so am looking at getting them a Hello Fresh subscription. Has anyone used them or something similar. Would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I thought my area had been mostly unaffected. I don't know anyone who has it or even had symptoms, shops haven't been ransacked yet and no businesses/schools have closed. It just seemed to be business as usual. Then I got to work this morning and was told we're likely being made redundant by the end of this month. It's not entirely down to the virus (Brexit uncertainty and the shit weather have a lot to do with it), but it's making me take this thing a shit-ton more seriously now.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 One of my other half's friends works in a hotel, she's self isolated for a week, but nobody would test her. She said she's felt awful. We read an article where a Guy's written a diary of what he went through with it as he's recovered, and she told us they were her symptoms as well. She's getting better now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you recommend? It is a good service but marketed at a certain type of user. Recipes on Hello Fresh and modern and pan-global. If I got my Dad a hello Fresh sub (he's 71) he'd ask where the chips are and what the fuck is galangal? I'd be happy with them but more conservative palates might not be. I'm projecting based on my dad, but if your parents aren't adventurous with their food perhaps consider a food box rather than a meal box? e.g. Riverford or Abel & Cole.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2020 There's a farm in Noth Lincolnshire that do a great delivery service with different mix boxes of fruit and vegetables and also options for meat, bread and cakes from their village. They're just on Facebook. Wonder if there's anything like that locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad loves his cooking and will happily make most things. His only limit is vegan food which he still views with suspicion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Currently a "breaking" story so more details will appear at the link shortly: Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said "everyone" in the UK should now avoid social contact with others and stop non-essential travel to fight coronavirus. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51917562 I haven't seen the TV briefing, so I'm hoping said details will include contextual definitions of the words "non-essential" and "travel."

organizedkaos Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) As someone who is trying (unsuccessfully so far) to convince family to postpone a gathering (which would involve about 10 people 65+ and probably another 10 or so under that age) I *really* hope they provide more context  So far the (family) line is "if no-one is displaying symptoms and we wash our hands when we arrive it'll be fine!" 🤔 Edited March 16, 2020 by organizedkaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
