Coronavirus (COVID-19)

For the people stockpiling chicken and pork. Where are they keeping it?!

Our freezer is not small by any means, but after a normal bi-monthly shop it is relatively full.

I can't imagine trying to cram 4, 5 or 6 weeks worth of food into it.

This stockpiling is really frustrating. People are looking for answers and all it would take is the prime minister saying that the supermarkets would remain open during a lockdown, to stop this.

In Italy there are open, as are butchers and bakers etc

What about manufacturers of wax-based emergency lighting? In case of power outages etc.

I don't know if it would. People are being told on the news that if anyone in the house displays symptoms they should stay at home.

Now, assuming they actually followed that instruction, they wouldn't be able to get to a shop anyway.

People are mistaking panic buyers for a genuine shortage of food, and reacting accordingly. Telling them that 24hr supermarkets are closing overnight just fuels this misbelief leading to the run on the shops seen this morning.

Lots of people have chest freezers in their garage. Not flat dwellers like me however.

Seeing people cueing at 6am was quite a site.
Empty still.

Tomorrow. Wander out and shout,          " We've no pasta, soap,milk,bread or toilet rolls but Asda has loads!" 

And watch them all bolt down and up the Kingsway.
