I'll be going out tomorrow to go to work. I hope the supermarkets won't be empty coz I ACTUALLY need bog roll!!
 
I just trotted around Sainsburys. It was quite quiet and the shelves were sparsely stocked. The meat, canned soup and frozen sections were BARREN mind.
 
Oh, and NO toilet roll but loads of bread.

A chap in front of me in queue had been trekking all over town trying to get baby milk (?) and had only been able to rustle up a single tin (??) of it.

So there's no point in doing an online order as they'll do the delivery just missing out half of it?

its mental. We've all become so used to certain things, that going without is going to be such a test. I hope those cunts that bought up all the loo roll burn to death in their fire trap homes.
 
there are many wild cats in the area, I wonder if they make a good stew...
 
I'm having bread for the first time since friday. I'm even bought some extra that I'm going to use in 2-3 days.
 
I'm getting hungry. When are the army coming with my rations? :side-eye:
 
Day 5 on lockdown and I'm about to lose my mind already. Not that I was sane but anyway. :zombie:
 
@Alla I'm in a similar situation to you, in that I live alone. I'm genuinely impressed you're able to do this. I'm not sure I could live alone for an extended period of time in lockdown.

If we reach that stage, I'll probably need to make arrangements to go stay with a friend.
 
Ooh my box of flushable wipes and bag of almonds finally shipped from Costco :disco:
 
My dad says if I have got it and become immune, I can go and look after him and his wife when they get it. I suppose I MAY AS WELL be in the middle of nowhere if all socialising is banned.

To be honest, I rather be alone and have my space than sharing with anyone (other than a partner, possibly). And for their own safety too. :)

There were significantly more people on the bus today. Let's see if this is a one time thing or if people are already starting to take the state of emergency less seriously.

Did you not say that there was a loud pheasant outside your window the other day. They're delicious.

that's the thing though, how do you know you've had it and not just regular flu?
 
TV wise it sounds like we're getting tons of repeats in lieu of new or live material. It sounds like the news will remain as a public service, but entertainment wise there's going to be a drought in terms of anything new.

aren't there like two more seasons of drag race (all stars and some celebrity one) already done?

Well we have that at least. I presume followed by a huge delay in anything new. I know this sounds relatively petty, but entertainment plays such a big part in people's lives.
 
People are legally required to stay away from you. So far, I'm loving this.
 
Also a health reporter said this to the New York Times. I find it interesting but not sure I totally agree.

You’ve said this is a crisis but it’s not unstoppable. How do we stop it?
We need to shut down all travel, as experts have said. And then we really aggressively tackle the clusters. People have got to stop shaking hands; people have got to stop going to bars and restaurants. New clusters are appearing every day.
It’s basically urgent that America imitates what China did. China had a massive outbreak spreading all over the country, and they’ve almost stopped it. We can shut off the roads, flights, buses and trains. I don’t think we’ll ever succeed at doing exactly what China did. It’s going to cause massive social disruption because Americans don’t like being told what to do.
Is that what some countries are missing? This sense of collective action and selflessness?
That is absolutely what many Americans are missing — that it’s not about you right now. My parents were in the World War II generation and there was more of a sense of we’re all in this together.
We’ve got to realize that we’re all in this together and save each other’s lives. That has not penetrated yet, and it needs to penetrate because we all have to cooperate.

I know right :wired: Can't get tested unless I get breathing problems or pay £375 for a private one. Mind you I suppose I will save that by not going to the pub for a couple of days.

Hopefully they might get an antibody test sorted soon.
