I've done a very small box of longlife stuff. I've put in on top of our fridge. It's two bottles of longlife milk, 2 tins of corn beef, pasta, spaghetti, tinned tomatoes, biscuits and some noodles.
We don't usually eat corn beef from a tin or Noddles etc. But because I've got small kids I've made sure we can eat for a couple of weeks if people panic buy or we get I'll. I've also added two extra bags of frozen veg and chicken to the freezer. I feel like I can now do
Tomato pasta
Chicken pasta
Corn beef stew
Vegetable pasta
Aswel as noodles and stuff for dinner if we can't get hold of bread etc.
I think they should have maximum buy of most things to prevent people over buying. I have a lady from Australia on my FB and they have ran out of bog roll in most shops.
People are fearing the unknown. There has been huge amounts of cases in China but it's still nowhere near a million. When you think how huge their population is. That's kind of the case on all countries. Let's hope the UK is kept to a minimum with it too.
Although it's typical of this country to do anything until it's too late. Maybe all schools should close for a week and a deep clean. See how many cases come out after a week.
It also annoys me Boris saying bigger classrooms etc to cope with staff being off sick. Well I'm sorry but if my DD teacher goes off with coronavirus then my child is not going near school!
Also saying to encourage people to work and go to school but avoid socialising. So does this virus not target workers and students lol! Surely kids can take work home for a week. If they act now maybe things won't have to get bad.
What about kids with asthma etc too. Sorry I've gone off subject abit. I think the media is putting fear into everyone aswel.
