My viewpoint from the North East of England is that panic buying is pain
in the arse (looking at you elderly lady with 36 rolls of toilet roll and a
trolley full of tins etc.), blitz spirit my arse. Those folks who can just
about afford their weekly groceries are going to end up out of pocket, no
doubt that somewhere, people will be making a killing with this.

Plenty of gallows humour in the office, especially those with diabetes or 
other scary health problems. 

I suspect that trust is the government is zero, and rapidly declining.

Barring that, as happy as can be....
