ICTChris Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Thoughts on this[mention=17699]G_Man1985[/mention] &[mention=72852]Moomintroll[/mention] ?I strongly suspect there isn't actually much panic buying or hoarding in the way we imagine. Supermarkets in the UK took £193.4bn in revenue in 2019, which is £3.7bn/week. £1bn extra has been added over 3 weeks: approx 10% rise per week for 3 weeks. That's small, give that...— Greg Callus (@Greg_Callus) March 21, 2020 I’d assume that even a small number of people buying over the odds is enough to disrupt supply chains and cause empty shelves. Particularly something like toilet paper which is mass produced and doesn’t have any seasonal fluctuations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Going to walk a bit of the West Highland Way today. Not sure which part but we are staying away from everyone. Aside from work, I've been out the house literally twice this week. Once to drop my partner at work and once to grab a few food items. Need to get my legs moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 We really need to get the finger out and get testing everyone. The number of people that wont believe this is an issue until they are confirmed they have it is a huge problem IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worktheshaft Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 This is going to be a disaster here in the highlands. The amount of caravans, campervans and holiday letters who have come north to 'ride this out' is disgraceful.Ignorant c***s. The virus is already here, our communities will need the limited health care provision available. Rural shops are being stripped of all provisions. We have an overwhelming elderly population up here. Please stay at home. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Roar Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I see our death toll after 2 weeks matches Italy's exactly - 233. I believe they have twice the ICU bed capacity that we do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
