Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Wee line up outside Tesco. Not much delay getting in. A few faffers but a wee cough shifted them out the road.

Plenty of Caramilised Onion hummus. Meat isle a bit desolate but got a yellow sticker chicken roast dinner(2 breasts in bacon, stuffing ballsand chipolatas. Grabbed a sirloin steak too. Plenty of them.

Plenty of paracetamol, baby food and Calpol.

Loads of bread and milk and some eggs.

Iceland was quiet, straight in. A few more ditherers but grabbed a case of dog food and headed out.

Went in to grab some face masks. Gone up to 1.99 each. Supposedly cash and carry prices had gone up...

Didn't bother and managed to get through the queue of c***s waiting to get in the fishmongers.

One person in the butchers and they had plenty of stock. They'd even made some fresh scotch pies.

Across the road was the biggest queue, for Boots. I was gonna grab some vitamin D supplrment/ multivits but f**k that. 

TL;DR Byres Road was fine for shopping.

Look at the oil majors, Shell and BP down around 50%, Centrica the same. What way do you think they’ll go when the world gets back to normality? 

They would have dropped significantly even without Covid-19. This had far more to do with that: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/08/oil-plummets-30percent-as-opec-deal-failure-sparks-price-war-fears.html

I don't think the PPE issue is down to a lack of funding or will from the government. It's more that we don't have the ability to produce it in the UK. That kind of mass production has been moved to lower wage countries. 

After this people are going to be keen on bringing supply chains closer to home.
