It seems the NHS is having to panic buy personal protection equipment (PPE) and I'm sure the shouty leftwaffe mob will be pointing the finger at Boris.  ::)

I guess ultimately the buck stops with Boris, but you really have to wonder what the highly paid NHS senior management have been doing?   :-\

After all it's not like the China virus has arrived on our doorstep without advance notice?  ::)

The advance notice was in 2007 with this paper and others

It's very wordy, so just read the first paragraph and the last sentence of the paragraph before "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS", but read it all if you like!

Have a nice day !

I suspect that part of it is that very many people only shop for the next couple of days, and are now suddenly buying for a week, possibly fortnight (rather then the media hysteria of stockpiling), which has meant the supermarkets had a brief run on items. Then that photo went around arsebook of a (single) supermarket with no bog roll, which caused a hysterical rush to buy more.

We will have another week of shortages following the new announcements from the government.
