This is a very good article yesterday from the New York Times. Worth reading all of it.

I've got a solution to this; anyone leaving a shop who has stockpiled non essential items should be shot in the face with a shotgun.
You could even get the Sky cameras there, at least we'll have something to watch on the box while there's no sport.
It could become the new sport.
Could have an app where those isolating can vote on whether people have overstepped the mark or not.
Reckon I'm on to something here.
Corona ****s live on Channel 4.
Ant Middleton fights Godfrey Bloom to the death. The winner is force-fed uncooked pasta until he dies.
There’s no point in stockpiling given no one knows how long this **** is going to last. Unless they’re getting provisions that will last for years.
The loo roll thing is just weird as there are other ways to clean your arse.
In Germany they tend to do what they are told more than we do.
No idea about Russia - or even if I believe the figures
Or maybe their blood alcohol levels are just naturally high enough to kill the ****er!
The Russians have had a huge spike in pneumonia deaths apparently. Definitely nothing to do with corona virus
Meanwhile average age of coronvirus death in Italy = 79.5 years
average life expectancy in US = 78.7 years
So Americans who get Corona will live longer than without it ?

Or, like, the supermarkets could just restrict everyone to no more than two of any item. Which they’re starting to do in London anyway.
Didn’t stick my head in the local Sainsbury’s today, but heard the shelves weren’t looking to bad. And I did find bogroll in a corner shop - the Somali shopkeeper didn’t ramp the price up either.
****it, there’s enough of everything for everyone. But some people will never get that message. Which is kind of why the world is ****ed in the first place.
I think you gave a good example earlier today, which is much along the same line as me, when we were talking about the bacon. The one thing I try and avoid doing is throwing food out. That's not even about money, I have more than enough money to buy food, I just think it's wrong to waste food when others are desperate for it ie foodbanks. The only thing is it means on some days you can't have always what you might fancy, but what you need to have to avoid it going in the bin. I seriously believe if any of these panic buyers throw any of the food away they bought, they need fooking shooting. Generally in a crisis, the one thing people do is save money, but no not us in this crisis, we go and spend an extra billion quid on stuff that have turned most homes as what I can only guess are mini markets!
Doesn't really help mate when you see a husband, wife and daughter all take a full trolley each through the checkout. I seen that happen in Morrisons with a family that lives two streets from me.
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.
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.
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.
