• Blow the bridges now!

    When I go to the supermarket at the weekend I might buy a bit more dry/tinned/frozen stuff than usual and make sure my cupboards are nice and full in case the family has to self isolate.

    I’m hoping this was said in jest. If not you might want to reconsider. Just buy what you need. It’s not like supplies are going to run out any time soon. People are selfish arseholes and it’s the most vulnerable that get left behind in situations like this. From my current experience in SE Asia I can vouch for the fact that hoarding shit is a cuntish thing to do. It’s the me first attitude that really grinds my gears atm.

    I thought PM Lee handled it pretty well the other day.

  • I see nothing wrong with his statement.

    If he has to self isolate his family, he'd like to prepare to feed them and reduce trips to the shops. Self isolate.

    China has a forced quarantine of 60 million ppl, you think they shouldn't have stocked up their pantries?

    I don't believe in throwing food away so if they consume or donate it later, why the heavy words?

    A little bit but I'm also pissed off with my local branch of Sainsbury's which on Sunday had run out of tinned tomatoes (all brands), tinned sweetcorn (they did have some massive cans of Green Giant but not all the other usual ones) and taco shells so my cupboards are far too empty.

    In general I think it is good planning to have several weeks of long life food in the house (the stuff you usually eat anyway that you can rotate through) along with 6 months expenditure available in cash accounts etc. I agree this is a problem for the more vulnerable people.
