Nearly all the big supermarkets seem to be saying something  like... supplies are normal, no need for major rationing, there's enough for everyone etc..

I've been trying to buy packets ( or more exactly, one packet.. ) of antt-bacterial wipes. All I see are empty shelves. Inquiries to staff bring... don't knows when

they'll have more..., they'll be in when they're in........ 

Is this just me, or my locality.. ?

Much seems to depend on when the deliveries are received and when the cages are put out.

Unfortunately as soon as anything hits the shelves its snaffled by droves of anxious and paranoid shoppers.

Plenty J-cloths and kitchen/bathroom cleaner sprays available. Adapt and survive.

Are anti bacterial wipes not getting prioritised to the NHS and care homes?

I can buy two large packs of anti-bacterial wipes per week through my work and I donate them to the local hospital. 

This post serves no purpose other than to highlight what a great guy I am. I'm away to stick this on Facebook to see how many likes I can get.

Doesn’t make up for the seven people you murdered imo.

See all this fucking shite about “oooh Boris is in hospital who’s running the country. Is Raab the pyab making the decisions, oooh”
As if any of these useless c***s are capable of making any decision individually.
Same goes for that bullshit meme about Calderwood getting the CMO job ahead of an epidemiologist.

Like the CMO doesnt have access to all of these people to get their opinion.

It’s always “strong leadership by x, y or z” when folk want to take credit and “collective responsibility” when everyone wants to avoid blame.

No-one wants to be in the driving seat at this time.  Health issues aside, Johnson must be livid that he finally got the top job only to have to deal with this absolute shitstorm.

I always hate it when people talk about getting better from a serious illness as “being a fighter” or “is fighting hard”. It’s bollocks, getting better isn’t a matter of fighting, it’s a matter of medicine and biology.  Does it mean if you die, that you just didn’t try hard enough? Bullshit. 
 

eta - Sorry watching Dominic Raab’s press conference.

This. Fighter, warrior, inspiration etc. Fucking hate them all.

You should buy a Rab jacket to cheer yourself up.

Christopher Hitchens put it well.

Unfortunately, it also involves confronting one of the most appealing clichés in our language. You’ve heard it all right. People don’t have cancer: they are reported to be battling cancer. No well-wisher omits the combative image: You can beat this. It’s even in obituaries for cancer losers, as if one might reasonably say of someone that they died after a long and brave struggle with mortality. You don’t hear it about long-term sufferers from heart disease or kidney failure.

Myself, I love the imagery of struggle. I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient. Allow me to inform you, though, that when you sit in a room with a set of other finalists, and kindly people bring a huge transparent bag of poison and plug it into your arm, and you either read or don’t read a book while the venom sack gradually empties itself into your system, the image of the ardent soldier or revolutionary is the very last one that will occur to you. You feel swamped with passivity and impotence: dissolving in powerlessness like a sugar lump in water.

Either lots of people are home-baking or, as I suspect, a lot of people bought flour, yeast etc with the intention of baking and now have these items sitting at the back of their store cupboards.

Seen some plain flour in Sainsburys but nothing anywhere else. I'm using it as I have a bread maker but down to my last half-bag of bread flour.

Just be glad it's not Gove or IDS. Why are the 2 biggest c***s in the Tory party from Scotland?

He'd stopped the Rab jacket shite. Why did you have to remind him of it? He'll be going on about electric blankets and green jeans again soon.

Got a new electric blanket quite recently actually.

Takes the chill off of an evening.
