How long before supermarket shelves are empty because of Covid 19

[Yale]

So if we have lockdown in a few areas where supermarket distribution centres are how long?

And that’s without suppliers not being able to supply.

So who has started stocking up yet

Good job we have 70 lambs still to go, a bin full of oats, a few bags of spuds and some manky apples in the garage.

It won't get to the stage of shortages. Lockdowns won't take priority over keeping the shelves stocked. The risk of spreading the disease will be seen as the lesser evil of folks going hungry and that is right I think. Hungry people have less immunity and recover more slowly.

Keep calm and carry on.

A bit of a shortage wouldn't do any harm, the masses might think about where their priorities should be, rather than having a new iPhone, the 60 inch TV and a holiday in benidorm.

I reckon there is enough cans of stuff in this household and in the veg patch to see us through a couple of weeks.

No milk for the boy- a total milk fiend- would mean releasing him and letting him go feral though.

Camping stove gas, beans, beer, and bullets. Sorted. It what back woodsmen dream of.

The rest of us keep calm and carry on

Think our house is the same. Should see the amount of stuff in the freezer.

Thought she was preparing for a zombie apocalypse.

Freezers need defrosting so we'd be right for a while... Cider could be a problem. Plus loosing a few pound would do me good.?

If the Government tells us to stay quarantined in the house with nothing to watch but 'Love Island', then I'll take my chances with Covid 19.

Having said that, I might have to re-enact the supermarket scene from 'Dawn of the Dead' and stock up on Super Noodles and beer first...

Hungry people are angry people, also.

More like Shaun of the Dead in town here.

Who cares . Must be weird living in the town with no means of feeding your self I think that would be a little concerning when things like this threaten.

 

[DrWazzock]

We will move into a management phase once the containment phase (which is woefully inadequate) has failed. There won’t be lockdowns or mass quarantine. We will just be dealing with a bad flu epidemic. Things will carry on functioning through it.

does anybody really believe that Chinese will eliminate this virus? I don’t. It will only subside significantly when the population has gained immunity by infection or when a vaccine is developed. Both of those scenarios are months away at best.

What’s the betting the world population will explode in about 9 months time

 

[Swarfmonkey]

This is how it starts. Next thing you know, people will be dressing like they're in Mad Max and scouring the streets of Basingstoke for a can of baked beans and a Pot Noodle.

It's like that in the Mendips already. I always carried an emergency sausage roll in the truck- if you break down you throw the sausage roll out the window and run for your life whilst they are distracted.

@Hindsight !

I realised this morning I am short of one essential item in my no deal Brexit bunker. Potentially a fundamental flaw in my prepared stocks. LOO ROLL. So am off to Morrisons and ASDA this evening on a sneak all out raid. I reckon 3 complete trolleys of Andrew soft white should just about see me through. Now if that is not enough then the world I return to will resemble a Mad Max film.

Thank me later.
