Plague 2

So an early morning trip to the Coop for some sliced bread yielded the fact that theres no pasta , no potatoes and the freezers are looking very sparse . But theres tons of yellow label chilled goods that freeze well . The coop however has a delivery most days and it often runs out of stock of various items so no reason to panic yet .  I did think there was an awful lot of pensioners loitering about but they were all waiting for a huge bus trip to somewhere . Other half did comment he fancied a trip to York as it was shown looking deserted on the local news last night .
The fatalistic attitude from talking to a few people seems to be , best to get the bloody bug now while theres still a chance of medical treatment and your own hole in the ground to bury you in . One of the neighbour walking his dog did comment that bob the farmer has a digger and the cricket pitch is unused now, if push comes to shove . His other comment was a tad more worrying , he said he knows who to expect trouble from in the event and he has a gun for anyone coming to steal his beans.  Fuck the government seems to be another widely heard sentiment .
we are a tourist area and ive just seen a post from one of the local chalet sites saying they are opening there camp shop early and anyone can use it , they are fully stocked and have enough loo roll for the whole of the summer season . I suppose its just trying to make a bit of money as cancellations are through the roof  Easter is the biggest part of the season , this will crucify a lot of businesses locally . Tourism is pretty much the only local employment in the season as well ......we shall see
