MissyJane2 that had to be a joke post, right?
No one can actually be that ignorant and selfish!
All right I suppose I am being selfish moaning about not being to live without my comforts. Like buying what food I want, eating what I want and being able to go out where and when I want including go to the seaside and on holidays.
I probably wasted a lot of money on most of those things even food buy buying in bulk or expensive items.
Well now we can't get things like toilet rolls or even a can of beans,it's just as well I bought extra packs of toilet rolls before Christmas which I still have.
Because other wise if I had just bought one or 2 every week I would not have any now.
But they are not going to last forever and I will have to buy more eventually. But I know now because of this crisis that unless the government can stop this virus soon, it's going to get much worse and this could go on for months or even years.
Oh My God
Yes I know by going I risk catching the illness myself. And just because I don't have it now does not mean I won't catch it in the future.
Thankfully my cold or flue is getting better so the outside air or the going out is getting rid of my cold or flu. Bringing my fever down maybe but my GP said I don't have a fever.
If I had someone to come round and stay with me I would stay at home but I don't.
I am a 56 year old woman and my parents are dea and I have no one, no family or friends. My neighbors won't help me so I have had to go out to get food and supply because I ran out.
But have had a lot of trouble finding them and even when I did everything in the shops is rationed. You can only buy 2 or 3 of everything, so I could not stock up for the week, I have had to go to all different shops( most of them corner shops since they were the only ones who had food and things and are not rationing.) Just to get what I needed.
I have got most things now so I don't have to go out again unless I want to.
There is no lockdown but the Prime Minister has now ordered all cafes,restaurants and pubs to close and a lot of shops are closing until further notice.
Trains and buses are still running but London transport is reducing their services from the 23rd March until further notice. There will still be trains but not so much so you could wait a long time for one.
So although there is no lockdown and you don't have to stay at home.
If everything is closed including the public toilets then it's not worth going out to the town centre anyway. Because there will be nothing to go out to.
It's like if you go out on Christmas day there is nothing open so I don't go out because there is nothing to go out for.
In this case the food shops and chemists will be open.
But what if you live in a village or somewhere where there are no supermarkets or shops or they are a bus ride away?
how to you get there if there is no public transport and if liker me you don't have a car?
Can we still get a min cab or taxi?
Or have they stopped running as well?
At least we are not on lockdown so they won't arrest us for going out.
But the real worry is all of the hardships with not being able to get food. It is effecting my mental health.
Do you know how humiliating it is every time I do into a big food store like M&s and Tesco to have to ask the store staff
"how many items do you allow me to have?
What are your rules?"
And being told I cannot have more than 2 tins of fish or 2 tubs of cartons of soya milk which is hard to find anyway.
So when you find it you want to get more cos you have run out and need to stock up for the week.
Yes the worst thing is the no food situation not only that but even though they have not put us on lockdown.
Shops and everything is closing and may remain so for a long time.
So what sort of a life are me and everyone else in this country going to have ?
England is fast becoming like a prison camp.
I just wish the was a way we could get out of England and live in another country that does not have all of this.
But every other country on this planet has got the same problem.
I feel sorry from the mums, the old and the sick people who need food but cannot get it.
Some mums I talked to said they have no nappys for their babies.
What are they expected to do if the shops won't stock their shelves?
How do we know the big supermarkets are not holding back the goods on purpose?
Even people who are panic buying cannot possible empty a whole supermarket like Tesco or Sainsburys.
There is something else going on that we don't know about.
And no I am not panic buying.
I am in a 1 bedroom flat and have not got the space.
Also I am intelligent to know that if you buy too much food it goes off and will be useless in a week or 2.
So you can't buy like that.
I am watching the new on TV and I see this woman who is an NHS nurse crying in front of the cameras saying she has no food in her house, no vegetables or anything. And how is she going to maintain her health and a healthy diet.
Yes she was crying and said that to the cameras.
But the supermnarkets are not doing anything about it.
People will stop going to them if they carry on like this.
If Tesco and the big stores don't change they might as well close too.
Because noboby wants to go to a food shop that has no food.
But having said there there are not a lot of other places to go except the corner shop.
But they have not always got either.
No I don't live like this for months and even years if this crisis does not get solved.
*I remember this time last week I was going out and buying all of the food I wanted and loved. And could buy as much as I wanted.
Now I cannot even get any potatoes or anything and I am worried sick I am going to starve.*
I don't think the coronavirus is going to kill me I think it's starvation.
Because there is no food if this goes on for months,
And If I survive that mine and everyone else's life will become a living hell. Everything closing down this whole situation is like a nightmare we cannot wake up from.
It's like something out of a horror movie.
One person said the new and internet news articles is making it worse by panicking everyone.
I think they are right.
Maybe it would have been better if the government had not told us all of this.
Then people would not have been looting the shops and the shops would not have been shutting and sacking their staff.
Maybe the news should just keep quiet and let the Doctors and the NHS deal with and treat those who are unfortunate enought to have this Coronavirus.
That's what they should be doing.
Not locking us in and starving us and ruining everybody life.
One person I spoke to said her friend is thinking of committing suicide because of this.
It's upsetting people including me.
Tell the government to resove this crisis please.
Not in 12 weeks time NOW.
We have had enough.
