it's people like this that need their heads pre-emptively amputated to prevent spreading the virus. Fucking dick behaviour.
In other news, my local Tesco and Lidl have been gutted of toilet paper and pasta over the weekend. Everything else fine. Had been quite encouraged last week that there was no sign of hoarding/panick but here we are.
Irony being that the iceland and B+M next door have ample supplies-lends credence to it being a certain type of person panick buying-i.e the poorer folk can't be fucked with it and/or the middle classes would rather get the virus than go into Iceland.

I'd say it was unbelievable, but people are fucking idiots so I guess it's extremely believeable. The mind still boggles as to how you could be so calamitously unable to grasp the basics of prioitisation that you would think a work meeting would rank as more important than speaking to a medical professional and staying the fuck away from other people in the meantime.

The poorer people and most vulnerable cant afford and/ or aren't able to stockpile.

My local Tescos - Brixton - was sold out of dried pasta, with the exception of packets of an Italian brand with only Italian text on it. Either fear of infection because it was from Italy, or unable to work out what was in the packet...

Someone just came to have an hour-long at-desk meeting with my colleague. At the end of the meeting she stood up and announced that she was off to ring the NHS as she might need to self-isolate. We were all 'ha, ha, funny joke' to which she said 'oh no, very serious'. Good stuff.
