The UK has gone into lockdown owing to the coronavirus pandemic and people are only allowed to leave the house for a certain few set reasons, one of which is to shop for essential supplies.
A key problem at the moment is people stockpiling basic amenities such as toilet roll, cleaning products and food.This has resulted in a reductive cycle because, due to lack of supplies, people that don’t want to buy in bulk now deem it necessary to do so due to the scarcity of products on sale.
As a result those key workers, such as vital NHS staff, are also struggling to pick up essentials in their limited breaks between shifts and are also having to waste valuable time in long queues.
