honestly, i think that is just a weak moment where general stress and worry have overcome her. She is dealing with things at work she probably never experienced before under tremendous pressure. Someone just needed to sit her down with a cup of tea

People are selfish and that won’t change .

Just seems obvious to provide the key workers with their food needs

We are also spending far much time and petrol dashing from one place to the next just to try and find some basics

Still can’t get any paracetamol anywhere or toilet rolls obviously

If you need toilet roll try Farmfoods, the one near me keeps them in the back and you have to ask that way they make sure one or family or whoever's you travel with

Very soon, it won't really matter what you have in life.....this virus doesn't discriminate. You could very well be insulting people you later have to rely on or ask for something.

People are panicking....they could be suffering from high levels of anxiety....#bekind

I agree. There's no need to buy that much. And they're even buying things that have a short shelf life. What a waste!

I was in asda and a woman had 10 bottles of water in her trolley bearing in my mind there is a 3 item limit and a young asian lady told her she was being selfish and to put some back when the woman said her grandparents thought in the war while hers came over stealing jobs so she was more entitled to it then the woman said they will just take them away anyway and she said it doesnt matter I have 3 months worth in the garage at home

Surely the supermarkets can get their heads together and deliver essentials directly to the hospitals.
All N.H.S. staff have I.D.badges that can be shown. They could then shop either before or after a shift.
We are all going to be depending highly on our NHS to get us through this awful time, so let’s all get behind them.
Someone start a petition online.
