About a month ago, I sort of lost track of time, I was toying with the idea of wearing my haz-mat suit to Wal-Mart but I am sure no one would have taken that as a joke. I would have caused too much of a stir.
I have noticed only one person wear an old fashion, Russian gas mask shopping but that was only once.
I also saw pictures of a women wearing a clear PVC purse over her head but that seems too difficult to breath in.

I would go for £1 raincoats.
The can be reused 4-5 times if need to be.
Wouldn't they need to be washed at 60-65 degrees between uses to kill the virus, would a £1 take that sort of treatment?

PVC would defnitely survive a few washings at 60 degrees. PVC diaper covers can even be boiled after all.

I would think PVC diaper covers are manufactured to withstand washing I would doubt a Poundshop mac meets the same standards

The more that do the less chance Trump has of getting re-elected
Let's hope the loon in charge is the first one to give it a try, would that count as Domestos abuse
