The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

A few more weeks for northern Italy and it will be ‘interesting’ for them. 80% increase on normal rates of death. No chance of hospital beds to attempt recovery. I’m sure they’ve run out of palliative medicine as well.

We are currently 2 weeks behind them on death rates... so give it a month and we’ll see. still plenty of beer/spirits in the cellars of those closed pubs. Might as well get to the Winchester
 
Mosques, churches and Synagogues have suspended all services. Still the is no restriction on public transport.
 
The most popular grocery stores here in Texas, after being raided for two weeks by stockpiling nutters, have set up an orderly system of limited entry for crowd control and better distancing enforced by off duty police and store employees. They are also limiting popular items to two per customer. This has allowed the store to restock and maintain inventory control. They have shortened the hours of the store and are cleaning like crazy when closed. It’s a shame this was required at all but it seems to be working and hopefully people will get the message that they don’t need 8 gallons of milk or 500 rolls of toilet paper.

I've just got my usual delivery from Asda, no panic buying or anything.
As a goodwill gesture, I thought I'd load my SUV up with groceries and take them to people less fortunate than me. All of a sudden, one of my neighbours came over ranting and raving and threatening to report me. To cap it off, Asda have just rang me and called me a selfish twat and they won't be delivering to me anymore.
No more Mr nice guy from me I'm afraid.

Neighbours across the road get a regular Asda home delivery every Saturday morning, fine, today's turns up , no problem. An hour later they are unloading the boot of a large SUVs full of groceries. I told the tw#ts if I see them doing it again I will contact Asda about their delivery,

Latest news, I,ve complained to Asda, hope they lose their home delivery.

Horrible, selfish humans
 
Went to Asda this evening, expected on a weekend evening to be left with nothing, but in reality, although a lot sparser than normal, there was still plenty of food to do our weekly shop - we just didn't plan meals and figured we'd make plans whilst in the store.

Not like the chaotic scenes I'm seeing in the media; although maybe my area is just lucky currently.

The supermarkets don't give a fuck, either. Their tills are rattling up. That's all they care about.

Sadly you're right. I hope the supermarkets will have the decency to have have a designated times for geniune people who need it the most
