Interesting point re freezers..
@IanP
Be nice, but maybe not practical for many.
Be lovely if those who perhaps have to much for the next month have some thoughts to others that may be in need.
Not every one at risk in this crisis will be elderly or ill, we should all spare a thought, for how many others might struggle the longer this goes on.
Young lady neighbor, I have offered help, has two kids one has medical issues that cause breathing problems, she's a single mum, her mom, her main support has lupus, and he been confined to barracks.. Young lady, poilite and proud has refused the help so far she
can cope.
I will be keeping an eye out and keep offering that support, it may sadly be needed at some point.
The virus has been signposted for a good while, sadly many choice to ignore preferring the it's just flu, message
Which to my mind was allowed by many to flourish, and never robustly challenged enough by authorities.
But we are where we are.
I hope shops, simply stop deliveries.
Take stock of the worsening situation, and GO to a BASIC food package.
Seems to me those with enough money, and the technical skills are doing there own version of stockpiling and hoarding.
EDIT, reading back sound poor, i don't mean you, of course,
your are doing the best for your family undoubtedly as we all must,
but we all know many will, and that does seem unfair at the moment.
Many of the elderly WILL be in that less able bracket.
Surely enough food, but no more for all, would make good sense. Right Now
If we all take rationing this week and next.
The supermarkets can get the stock in required, streamline their stock control and ordering systems.. And hopefully address the online shopping panic.
Just my opinion.
Sure many will continue despite how much it impacts on others.
FreezersBut whatever happens, this isn't going away anytime soon without some serious thoughts and actions taking place at high levels.
Nice to see many waking up
Still Too many seemingly in denial.
Many more new issues will present themselves, over the coming weeks and months .. But only by coming together as we do on here, and in all those local streets and communities, quickly springing up awake and aware of the dangers, , will we ALL get through this in as best shape as possible..
As always we look after each other on here,
Long may that continue.
