The government have no plans to regulate the distribution of food, it's being left entirely in the hands of the supermarkets. So the great british public will continue to be seen at they're best for a while longer.
Now in Italy where the situation is a lot worse shoppers are being very sensible apparently "I’ve heard that, they panicked at first but it’s now calmed down, just wish it would over here so we can all get what we need .. let’s see .. ain’t holding my breath | |||

Now in Italy where the situation is a lot worse shoppers are being very sensible apparently "Hubby has a big family so hears from Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy...Problems in Switzerland and Italy is that the goods aint getting to the shops and bakers are running out of flour...Switzerland issue is that Germany is blocking the shit out of all next doors... Reason why Swiss have now armed troops out in force ... Sending people from Germany back again... France if u aint near a big town ...bad bad luck  | |||

Tins of food/soup etc will last years even milk can be frozen dont forget your pups, ensure you have enough for your pets nothing wrong with ensuring you are stocked up in all supplies including fuel | |||

I have been asked by my neighbour if I could look in some of the garage shops on my way to and from work to get him a pack of toilet rolls. Makes me well up, just thinking about how many others out there are in the same position. What a sad selfish world we are living in. 
Had to pinch a couple of the cheap rolls from work for the old fella in the end just to tide him over. | |||
"Anyone buying far more than they need over a period longer than a week are fucking selfish wankers, there's no need other than their own selfish fuck you attitudes. Pathetic disgusting excuses for human beings. " I get what you are saying. But look at it from another angle. Everyone is confused and scared they have no idea what is coming non of us do. You have a family children etc.. Possibly disabled children or family. So what are people supposed to do chance it hope that things will be fine? Or look at ensuring family is ok? So I can see both points of view, however there's no excuse for people being greedy and buying more than is needed if they are fit and healthy . Just returned from Tesco done a pretty normal weekly shop, only extra things I got A pack of tissues as I have hayfever at the moment. So liquid soap with aloe Vera in it as Mrs hands sore she's a nurse and washing hands continuously. A a mega large pot noodle coz it looks delicious. Couldn't get loo rolls or Beans which is heartbreaking as beans make up 70% of my diet.  | |||

"One of the guys I work with was telling me that all the where he lives ( a notoriously shit place) as this all started all the local dr@ggies and dealers went around buying up all the loo rolls and fresh meat and now selling them on estate at a massively inflated prices!! Organised gang's bulk buying to fuel their drug use!" Wouldn't it be nice if you could just dismiss stories like that as bullshit? It's probably happening all over the place too | |||

"What i don’t understand is that a lot of stuff has really short shelf life dates (especially Asda and Tesco fresh stuff/refrigerated stuff) so what the hell is the point. Surely that will just get wasted? So what is the bloody point? Panic buying just creates more panic buying? If everyone chilled the fuck out there would be no need for the awful scenes of distress that we are seeing. " This is so true and even the low life drug dealers could still stay in business as normal .. it just goes to show and hope we all have long memory’s of these people | |||

"No problem in Italy, France, Germany, China. Just widespread in English speaking countries. UK, USA, Canada, Australia. I can see a pattern here." As I said on the other thread, all those countries have had panic buying you just have to search to see the videos, China didn't have panic buying as their lock down started during Chinese New Year when all the shops were closed. | |||

There are disabled older people, with poor mobility, struggling to walk to the shops every day, because selfish bastards have decided to stock up for several months worth of supplies.
These deprived people are also, very sadly, much more likely to die from this disease.
The selfish hoarders should have to suffer the last breaths that such people have and have to clean up their bodies.
Buy enough for up to a week maximum. Leave plenty for people with Alzheimers, cancer, the elderly and infirm, who need to maximise their strength. They don't have your mental weakness and don't lack a moral compass, unlike you. Do without a bit and donate. | |||

" How so? It could kill ten times as many people as the blitz. " Only due to the blitz being confined to a much smaller area. And there is no rational reason why it should if people take the right precautions. But I wasn't referring to the number of deaths as such more the actual severity of the crisis. | |||
" Only due to the blitz being confined to a much smaller area. And there is no rational reason why it should if people take the right precautions.

You really don't know what you're on about, the blitz hit (amongst others) Hull, Bristol, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Southampton, Swansea, Birmingham, Belfast, Coventry, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield and London. Literally every country that makes up the United Kingdom was affected. This crisis is just as severe if not more so as there is potential for many many more to die. | |||

" Which is still a comparatively small area when compared to the whole of Europe and the rest of the world. What I'm saying is that the hardships suffered by the citizens who lived thru the blitz pale were far more severe than anything we are experiencing now. As for the number of deaths, there is no reason now that we can't get them under control. Much of the reason up til now has been a combination of slow govt reactions and poor official advice (only a couple of weeks ago Sadiq Khan told us it was perfectly safe to use the tube). Now, personally I would much rather live thru the corona crisis than thru the Blitz (or thru The Plague, to give maybe a more relevant example). | |||
" What I'm saying is that the hardships suffered by the citizens who lived thru the blitz pale were far more severe than anything we are experiencing now." You said the blitz was a smaller area and more severe but this is a global pandemic, how is a global pandemic less severe than the blitz? This is damaging the worlds economy, going to damage many healthcare systems and end up killing a lot of people. There is no comparison! | |||

During the blitz many many people had their homes and possessions destroyed. Many died and many suffered life changing injuries. The crime rate shot up, house breakings especially and murders went unsolved. The Black Market grew massively. Rationing lasted all the way until the 1950s and it took literally decades to repair the damage. Even today we are still digging up unexploded bombs. Also the economy tanked and the country faced bankruptcy. I do agree that Corona is a serious problem and is a crisis, however it should not be the big crisis that it has been allowed to become (at least in this country). We do not have a shortage of supplies (aside from ventilators and testing kits), it's just that people have lost their heads and got greedy and taken more than they need. With some cool headed common sense and a bit of thought we can get thru this without undue suffering. | |||

"We are in the USA and we feel the news is hyping the panic buying up That being said we are now forced to stock our homes with food and supplies needed for our families if and when we can find them. Took 4 days to find two packs of toilet paper no meat at the markets. You need to get in line before the stores open and hopefully you can get what you need. We live in California and have been locked down you can work if your company stays open. Go buy food and doctor visits as needed only. Many more people are going to get sick unfortunately. " It's calmed down here in Dublin our panic buying stopped last week once everyone was satisfied that food was not going to be a problem x food is restocked every morning now x | |||

Many of the things you write about, people losing their lives, black markets and the economy tanking are happening right now on a global scale. The fall out from this current episode is going to be felt for years. | |||

I've not been able to buy loo roll, kitchen roll, hand sanitizer, soap etc for last 4-5 days. I don't need much as a single guy but the usual amount of each would be nice.
Currently using Squashies shower gel as handwash and no idea if it has the relevant antibacterial stuff needed to kill any potential Coronavirus. Hey at least I'll smell good while suffering a slow, painful death.  (yes I'm being sarcastic before anyone says!)
What this outbreak has proven is that today's society is made up of a high proportion of self-centred CUNTS. Anyone trying to justify "panic buying" (let's be honest it's not panicking it's just ignorance and greed) is just as bad IMO.
Funny how I've not seen one person admit to being part of the problem yet so seems that people know what they're doing is wrong and are worried about the backlash. Spineless little turds. | |||
"It’s not panic buying now, well it is for the people who have been sensible, shift workers and the vulnerable.... it’s now fucking greedy buying by selfish cunts .... the minute the troops appear on the streets and BJ gives orders to clamp down on these greedy cunts the better
I think it is more "being sensible" Looking ahead and preparing, ensuring you and your family are safe, looked after and enough food, PPE, medication, fuel for all and to last at least a few weeks if not months,
Lets face it, what is being bought up is not going to go to waste, most things are required through out life, so someone who, lets say has bought 4 packs of loo roll, they will last a good few months, its not as if they will be binned. Tins of food/soup etc will last years even milk can be frozen
dont forget your pups, ensure you have enough for your pets
nothing wrong with ensuring you are stocked up in all supplies including fuel
And theres the problem...enough loo roll to last a good few months means that others go without."I agree stockpiling leaves others without. I can’t afford to do big shops I can only shop week by week, so rely on others not being greedy and buying months worth of food when they really don’t need to be so bloody selfish | |||

Currently using Squashies shower gel as handwash and no idea if it has the relevant antibacterial stuff needed to kill any potential Coronavirus. Hey at least I'll smell good while suffering a slow, painful death. (yes I'm being sarcastic before anyone says!)
What this outbreak has proven is that today's society is made up of a high proportion of self-centred CUNTS. Anyone trying to justify "panic buying" (let's be honest it's not panicking it's just ignorance and greed) is just as bad IMO.
Funny how I've not seen one person admit to being part of the problem yet so seems that people know what they're doing is wrong and are worried about the backlash. Spineless little turds.
I also stock up on fuel, we use a lot of quad bikes when stalking in forestry, use them to tow out the deer we shoot, so we have at least 6 - 20 litre tins of fuel, guess you got a problem with that too fella.
tell you what, you worry about yourself and worry about how your going to wipe your own ass whist I sit back enjoy a beer with my mates
worry worry worry "Surprised you've got mates tbh, you sound like a right arrogant prick.
And I'm not worried. I'm totally capable of looking after myself. However, a lot of people aren't able to and they're the ones that will truly suffer. If I have to clean my arse in the shower so be it.
Careful not to overdo the Guinness now and ch*ke on your own vomit. I'm sure you'll be way down on the list of priorities for the ventilators. | |||

Wholeheartedly agree. I worked in the Highlands 4 years ago. We'd a few small basic shops around plus a Tesco Express. But bigger town shopping was 35 miles away in Inverness, which had mostly everything you'd require. Moving there within my company, from Berkshire, I'd always been used to shopping at my local Sainsbury's! Where I was in Scotland, if I really wanted to go to my "nearest" Sainsbury's, it was in Dundee. Without access to a car, that entailed a 6 hour round trip, using 3 different buses each way! So for those who whinge about going a few miles to your local Tesco's / ASDA etc, thank your lucky stars you have one! | |||

So no, YOU are WRONG!! If a large family needs to buy a lot even for a week, why should they be made to traipse to the shops EVERY day to satisfy YOUR need to be holier than thou??? If that’s the case then YOU are saying these families should run the risk of catching this every day!! That’s 600% more risk than if they did 1 single shop every week. Yet YOU said everyone should socially isolate. Kinda puts that out of the window if you insist they go out 7 days a week huh?? Oh wait...you didn’t think that far ahead and neither did the other trolls. So once again, for those of you who had difficulty reading it earlier....

I think it is more "being sensible" Looking ahead and preparing, ensuring you and your family are safe, looked after and enough food, PPE, medication, fuel for all and to last at least a few weeks if not months,
Lets face it, what is being bought up is not going to go to waste, most things are required through out life, so someone who, lets say has bought 4 packs of loo roll, they will last a good few months, its not as if they will be binned. Tins of food/soup etc will last years even milk can be frozen
dont forget your pups, ensure you have enough for your pets
nothing wrong with ensuring you are stocked up in all supplies including fuel"Thing is, it's not being sensible if it's not needed. Two weeks supplies, fine. IF you have to self-isolate it's needed. A few months though? Sorry, but that qualifies the buyers as rather being greedy cunts who are purely out for themselves and would rather have all this stuff stockpiled for the minuscule possibility that somehow all food and bog roll in the land is going to magically disappear at the expense of others having nothing. Well I'll tell you what I plan on doing. It may sound extreme, but I'm taking pics of everyone I see behaving in this manner, as well as the shops that are ramping up stupid prices on basic items, then when this all dies down I'm going to construct a "TWATS gallery" and slap it up online with a basic message to potential employers (considering that we may well be in a recession by the end of this, so jobs will be harder to come by) to not think of hiring any of these stockpilers as they're clearly not team players (let them live off off their 6 months worth of stockpiled goods, they don't need a wage as much for that duration anyway) and in the case of the shops, which ones to boycott. If a business proves itself to be unscrupulous, then let it go to the wall. B | |||
