Rationing Certain Goods.

I think this is a good idea, and should be carried out in the whole of the UK. Same with antibacterial wipes.

Shopkeepers should have done that from the start of the virus Roxy .... they've had enough experience of people panic buying in the past and know what to expect.

You know what, the majority of people buying lots of these wipes and sanitizers will have done so for the sole purpose of selling them on ebay or craiglist for extortionate prices. In times of panic, greed sets in for a lot of people to see how much money they can make out of it.

Yes, I suspect there's a lot of truth in that too, Dodge.

I agree.
They probably don't care who buys as long as they make a profit.

Because 99% of the deaths are caused by the bacterial pneumonia caught as a result of the weakened immune system.
