We are pretty much self isolating as much as we can cause the virus is about 6 weeks ahead of the rest of the country here. The panic buying is ridiculous. If you do not get to the supermarket when it opens at 7 and are willing to queue for hours it is a real problem - the yummy mummies are like locusts. As I am self distancing to protect my partner who has significant underlying health issues being that close to others is a real problem. Still I have figured out that no-one panic buys at a Marks and Spencers in a train station and I am pretty much next door to one, so still have access to the essentials!!!
