Panic buying is in full swing in the supermarkets near my work. As in at least one scuffle was seen today by work colleagues on lunch break. Although the first panic buying I witnessed was a week and a half ago now so it's been going on for a bit.

Lots of firms moving to working from home / skeleton staff etc. And if you work in a pub or restaurant our Prime Minister has really dropped you in deep in the brown stuff.
