Almost Complete Lockdown Imminent

Post by Nockya »

Almost Complete Lockdown Imminent

When the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday, we are all going into an almost full country-wide lockdown.
This will not be as bad for the economy as the previous one because education goes on and so do other types of work.
Non-essential shops will shut so this is bound to have an effect on the supply chains.
This is as close to a full lockdown as you can get.

Sunderland was a ghost town on the last lockdown but I suspect the city to be active although not as it should be.
You still have a few days to buy what you need so do it now because the lockdown is for 4 weeks.

This applies to England because in Scotland Nicola Fishtail or whatever she is called will go against us as ever.
Wales and Northern Ireland is already in lockdown.

I am looking forward to cheaper petrol in Sunderland again :cheers:

Some will be affected more than others though.

I've been buying tinned food all summer for this scenario.. And loads of sanitising products, because I know how people panic bought last time.

It makes sense actually because a pandemic isn't the only thing we need to be careful of. The only problem is the storage of provisions especially with a big family.

Theft is not a new phenomenon, just take precautions like everything else in life.

Well, I am off to get in my provisions and if I empty the shelves so be it. They can call me a panic buyer or whatever but namecalling is something we left in the playground. It's up to the government and shops to ensure that we all get what we need.
