Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

The big online retailers are going to be the winners in this. I feel for our small retailers

If you looked through history, you would struggle to find 2 worse leaders to see their countries through this than Trump and Johnson.

I reckon Hitler would have done a better job.

Maggie Thatcher most certainly would have.
I hated her and her policies but she would have done a good job here.
At least she was a scientist

 

[tsubaki]

I’ve been thinking that too

Down to a roll and a half of toilet paper right now, was going to get a fresh pack on my next weekly shop

Might have to wait a week now

went to a Sainsburys and a Morrisons today and there was no panic in either

also I'd imagine those back home in civilization will probably not notice any different

 

[ToffeeTim]

Details? You are familiar with our prime minister?

Very familiar

You actually think the government will have everything in place?

 

[Bungle]

They are

I have to go shopping tomorrow, time to bring out the bomb vest again I guess.

Maggie Thatcher most certainly would have.

At least she was a scientist

even Cameron would have done better than Johnson has

who on earth reschedules an announcement of this press conference twice? idiots

When I was shopping yesterday and today, it was normal. However with any announcement, there'll be those who will go into total meltdown and act accordingly.

My wife has pretty much sorted Christmas shopping already, so apart from picking up our weekly shopping we will be acting as normal.

Roll and a half left? I'd be in the shop right now.

Naff all is my bet.

Supermarkets will deal with any panic buying just fine. They were superb once they got their systems sorted early days, so will just adjust them now, if needs be.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Once this pandemic is over/more managed, there simply has to be a general election so the public have the chance to have their say as to if this government is up to the task.

They are, in my opinion, the most useless bunch of knobs I have ever seen in power.

Get them out.

 

[navidson]

Can't believe we're back at square one to be honest

Just feel like locking my door and getting smashed for a month

 

[tsubaki]

Naff all is my bet.

I'll be amazed if they have done that much.

Supermarkets around here were useless. They had all these one way systems which weren’t enforced which just led to a bottleneck out of certain isles.

The answer is clearly for us all to just get bidets
