thankfully supermarkets have gave limits on all items so you can't buy more than 3 pastas etc. this should have been done as soon as people starting doing this. There wasn't any need to do it anyway

It's already lockdown , can't stop everything entirely otherwise we'll all be screwed.

Bin men still have to collect our rubbish , supermarkets still have to be open , and online shopping is still running.

I just hope internet doesn't cut off .

Phones were playing up .

Yeah I can't see everything being on lockdown , if anyone working has symptoms then they'd be sent home as others carry on.

People are morons, the shops won’t be closed because of lock down.

Was told there was a massive ques in Tesco’s again this morning and one woman demanded to see a manager after only being allowed to buy nine toilet rolls.

Asda today had signs up saying 3 of any item but only 1 pack of toilet rolls per person, they were policing it too, I was getting a drink and some crisps and the lady on fast lanes was stopping a guy trying to buy loads of meat

Yes. Anyone who has a fever or cough has to stay home.

That's very good. Everyone should be able to buy food.

Try your local shop. They will have eggs and other things you can't find at the supermarket.

I know. Why are they buying so much fresh meat? It doesn't last very long. Better to buy some frozen stuff.
