At what point do you batten down the hatches?

If we entered a time of Civil Unrest/Armageddon/Zombie Attacking, what would we do?

Along the lines of Porton Down, Salisbury and "Novichok".

I'm genuinely surprised that MSM coronavirus reporting hasn't gone down "the Russians did it" route.....yet!.

Not too much for too long, I hope, it's quite scary how quickly dependence can arise.

Saw a couple of crazies in Sainsbury's this morning................trolleys filled up to their chins.
Baked beans, UHT milk, and pasta.........what a way to go.

Dunno.

Was shopping in Tescos yesterday - no stockpiling, just a normal shop, and as far as I could see the shelves were as stocked as they ever are, except they'd been cleaned out of bread flour. No shortage whatsoever of t.rolls/k.rolls/tissues, or pasta or baked beans.

But they were rationing bottled water, as if people fear the taps running dry.

Unless people stockpile perishable goods, or things they wouldn't ever eat by choice (hello tinned potatoes) the supermarkets are going to have a lean time when this all blows over.

If you have to self quarantine for 14 days you don't want to run out of bog roll......

Plus TEOTWAWKI crowd are probably getting a boner over all this so they'll grab what they can........then wonder why they spent so much when it all blows over.
