Don't you have any stocks of dry food and tins, Adrian? Rice, pasta. soups, etc?

Even before this whole thing started, we've always kept significant stocks of such for an emergency.

We haven't, and haven't been out panic buying either - reckon we could last a week or two from the cupboards and freezer, but would be some interesting meals! Going to try and get some stuff tomorrow from the farm shop, butchers and local co-op so we have a bit of a buffer.

No worries, Alex. Maybe try to keep some stocks in future... Anyway, more importantly, I hope you get yourself sorted and stay safe.

Hey guys,
Just outside of Sacramento Ca. U.S.A.
How is everyone, Conner is home from school for 3 weeks, I have been told not to report for work till further notice.
Runs on stores,supply disruptions and Church and Baseball has been canceled so we went from running 7 days a week to NOW WHAT?
Everyone around us is fine,we are grateful for that.
Conner's Majors team is on hold till April, his 11U Travel ball team is still on and we are waiting on uniforms ,it may be canceled before our first game.
Most Americans either freaking out or annoyed and aren't taking it seriously enough.

Hi Jeff,

Good to see you checking in, mate, and glad you're ok

We're getting by, but it's serious situation and not anywhere near at its peak here yet.

Marco,
I am reading news from the U.K. as we are behind you guys in the spread, as goes the U.K. will go the U.S.A.
I am hoping this bug mutates into something far weaker.
We stocked enough food and toilet paper for 2 to 3 weeks.

[Marco]

Yup, you and me both, mate. Stay safe

We have some, probably enough for 2-3 eking eking stuff out, but that’s my point eying that we’re stuffed.

I think that the government needs to take serious action to stop this binge buying crap. If not we could see a serious breakdown going on.

The Army could be called in to patrol supermarkets and secure food convoys. But really the supermarkets themselves have to be more vigilant and simply restrict customers to only buying a limited number of loo rolls, tissues, non-prescription medicines, tinned food, pasta etc.

However it could be worse - in the US there are now queues forming outside gun shops ....!

Indeed! And I've no idea why they haven't been more strict on imposing rationing of essentials... What are they scared of...??

Sometimes people need TOLD how to BEHAVE, in no uncertain terms, and MADE to do so!!!

Yup can't get delivery dates now and half stuff is missing. Too many folk using the system. Tesco are also to blame in not leaving enough slots for their regular customers.
