I get a flu jab, have to get my blood monitored and one of the two immunosuppressants I take gets brought to me in a fancy refrigerated van. I'm presuming that makes me high risk but who knows. Same, minus the van. Flu jab, quarterly blood monitoring etc Slight comfort that the I had my pneumonia jab in 2018, but no idea if it is effective at all against the pneumonia this thing causes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The guy is reporting figures. What about it is "utter nonsense"?Marshy, if we had the products they wanted to buy they would do and the sales figures would be much higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've dusted off the old scientific calculator and have just estimated that there will be 8 million cases of coronavirus in Scotland by next month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Thoughts on this[mention=17699]G_Man1985[/mention] &[mention=72852]Moomintroll[/mention] ? I strongly suspect there isn't actually much panic buying or hoarding in the way we imagine. Supermarkets in the UK took £193.4bn in revenue in 2019, which is £3.7bn/week. £1bn extra has been added over 3 weeks: approx 10% rise per week for 3 weeks. That's small, give that...— Greg Callus (@Greg_Callus) March 21, 2020 Panic buying is happening.Ques this morning was horrendous at 10am.Shelves again are either already empty or starting to.Kids now coming into the shop this weekend so aisles such as sweets/ biscuits seems to be the next target . The wine is quite low. I only went in to get some shopping and start at 12 today However was at premier yesterday and that was stocked great. Only thing I noticed was the prices had went up quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10% sales jump would be seen as a decent result for a supermarket in the run up to Christmas. It’s not Soviet-era bread queues in Russia level of scrambling for produce but it’s a significant increase in trade for the shops, as indicated by the recruitment drive by them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's at least a couple of people on here making out that they're going over the top at Passchendale when they're moving Charmin Ultra from a stockroom to a shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
