To compound the issue, they are now rationing supplies - if you order 4 tins of soup, that's halved to 2 and this means surviving for a month on 2 tins of things... not possible.

The food distribution chain is fairly robust - with cafes, hotels and restaurants closing down there should be food surplus. But right now, you can't buy anything - at least not in my area.

The next crisis? I hope not.


As a National Trust volunteer I suggested to the NT that we got together with the supermarkets & local charities to shopping for self isolated or at risk groups.
It will be interesting to here the response.
