Did you ask them what they planned to do with it all?

I think a lot of people are behaving well over this, young people knocking on old people’s doors to ask if they want anything from the shops, all that kind of stuff. But it’s overshadowed by the ****ishness of what is presumably a minority of selfish bastards.

Don't actually know them mate, only by sight. I did pass a comment (quite loudly) to my sister though about total ****ers hoarding everything as we passed them loading their car.
And before you ask, i take my sister shopping every Thursday just so she can get what she needs for the week not stocking up <laugh>

Stay away from your mother’s this mother’s day!

Lots of chatter about the potential for people who are asymptomatic, presymptomatic or with only mild symptoms being able to spread the virus. Really might be worth considering if it’s really worth the risk to see vulnerable loved ones at the moment. Particularly with mother’s day coming up. As much as you might want to see them, do you really want to risk being the reason they end up ill? And if you get someone unnecessarily infected and they end up taking up a bed you might be depriving someone else the help they need. Pick up the phone or Skype/face time.

This is why I think we need a system based on the supermarket reward cards. Because they know your regular shopping habits, they know your name, where you live, and date of birth (alcohol). The gates of hell would open if there was a genuine food shortage, I think lessons need to be learned from this for future crisis planning.

This is a decent point.

As the issue with rationing to 2 items is that it ****s up people like my mate who has 8 people in his house.

Only it’s flaw is that many won’t have them (including me).

Yeah, I was brought up never to throw food away mate. Maybe something to do with having parents who lived through WWII.

Every Christmas when we got an orange in the toe of our Christmas stockings, my mum would tell us that she never saw an orange or a banana until she was 14. We took the piss mercilessly, doing the little violins and stuff, but the message still got through I guess.

I cook, pickle, freeze etc everything that’s close to the end. I even make stock which I’m told is weird as stock cubes are practically free. I hate waste.

I respect the fact that you’re now advising people to heed expert advice since you’ve spoken to people who work for the NHS but you’re yet to hold your hands up and admit that you were wrong to say it was all a bit hysterical and a great holiday buying opportunity.

It was a great chance to get a cheap holiday... until they all got cancelled <laugh>

I maintained from the start that older people and those with underlying health conditions would be those affected and that I was more concerned with the financial implications. Thats still mostly true but I’ll admit to having underestimated the rate of infection and just how extensively it would hit. Based on previous similar outbreaks my assumption had been it would die out before reaching the levels it’s now clearly going to reach. And having seen a lot of the nhs internal figures it’s clear this will have wider implications than just the deaths originally feared, it’s going to totally saturate our healthcare system.

I still think there has been hysteria - just look at the panic buying. People need to pull themselves together, listen to the advice and help each other.

But I’ll happily admit I underestimated the virus.

I respect you for posting that. I was a cynic to begin with until I saw the fear in my GP friends’ eyes.

I don't mind admitting I was slightly cynical to start with, it wasn't until someone I knew in the medical profession told me to watch a specific video documented by people on the front line in Italy, it was then my whole attitude towards it changed. It was after that I was like oh shhite, this is a massive problem. It was pretty hard hitting, it laid the foundation that said, whatever happens don't fall ill for any reason, because no fooker is going to be able to help you once this shhit hits the fan. By that I don't mean ill by the virus, I mean ANY illness. It wouldn't surprise me if ppl don't start behaving themselves, Boris will have no choice but to call the army in, and then you will do as your fooking told.

Yeah it's a bit more serious than i thought it was gonna be. But it's also showing the stupidity of the nation.

It's got so bad in Lombardy, Italy they've just brought in another set of stricter rules, you can't even go out to exercise now, not even on your own. Yesterday (Saturday) in one day, they had 800 deaths from it, I think it's now out of control. 800 in one day, where the hell do you get beds or coffins as it now is for that lot! I think those that went for that last pint of beer yesterday, are seriously going to regret it.

The mayor of Florence, Italy, initiated "hug a Chinese" on Twitter on Feb 1

There are videos of this going on early feb, including removing some of their masks.

When woke becomes lethal.
