This is the end game, if it comes to it. But before this we'll see martial law, complete lock down attempts. Maybe the doomsday preppers had it right.

Yep you need to be ready to protect your own.

It won't come to it in my opinion just worst case scenario.

Claw hammer and a crowbar next to the front door. They better have a gun.

New UK taskforce to crack down on coronavirus profiteers
CMA to act against traders raising prices on goods such as hand sanitiser and toilet roll

The competition watchdog is setting up a coronavirus taskforce to crack down on companies that cash in during the outbreak by bumping up prices or exploiting people’s fears with misleading claims about products.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it had already contacted traders and online trading platforms about excessive pricing of hand sanitiser, sales of which have soared as part of efforts to prevent the spread of the virus.
