I've dusted off the old scientific calculator and have just estimated that there will be 8 million cases of coronavirus in Scotland by next month.

My scientific calculator says 5318008. This, however, may be more of a reflection of my puerile sense of humour than my ability to model the spread of coronavirus.

I'm going out for an hour somewhere relatively quiet an isolated for a walk. Might park at the Quay and go a walk alongside the Clyde, there's never a high traffic of people there.

Hope you're right.

Utter nonsense frankly, if we actually had the products these wankthedugs are selfishly hoarding the sales figures would be far higher. Yesterday morning we had more people queueing up to get in than we would usually serve in the first 3 hours of trading.

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...

People are buying larger quantities of relatively cheap goods, things like bags of pasta and toilet paper come in at around a £1 or so each. While they are likely buying less electronic goods, cloths etc.

A large chunk of that will be November December. This will likely slightly distort comparing early March with an annual average. 

The buying patterns are very focused on certain products, this makes those products less available while likely others are languishing unsold on the racks. 

That is pretty much panic buying.

Yurp, that is exactly what we are seeing, bizarrely enough you can make perfectly good meals from what is left but if they haven't read about in the papers,they don't want to buy it. They are utter fuckwitted shitgibbons.

I'm adding 'fuckwitted shitgibbons' to my insult list.

It’s not just the Highlands that’s seeing moronic people ‘fleeing cities’ a guy in my work has gone to his caravan in the borders and is all over Facebook about it, clearly thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Regardless of who is making the decisions, Johnson is the one who is responsible. He's the person the country elected to be in charge.

In theory perhaps, but I don't think Boris is in charge of his own cock.
