Shopping precincts are apparently packed around here. I popped to Salisbury's earlier to stock up on essentials. I don't want to feed the panic craze, but these were items I genuinely needed. Suffice to say, the shelves were stripped bare. I've never ever seen anything like it.
There is a palpable sense now London is going into lock down and suspect this is feeding the frenzy.
Also, the reduced service on the tube has had an unattended consequence. Even though there are considerably less people, the carriages are more packed because there are less tubes.
Its all half measures. If Boris doesn't lock down tonight, its a complete dereliction of duty. To hell with the science.
