I’m confused.

I know about the cargo blockage in some canal.

I also know about the BBCRadio live-phone-in which allowed some female to spread the news that HUNDREDS of babies and children are now dying in NHS hospitals because some new variant has already hit us (?!)

So WHY have the “totally selfish and frightened out of their small wits” masses just cleared all the shelves in the supermarkets –before mid day — in my tiny town?

Did something REALLY REAL happen over night?
