An exhausted nurse has made a heartbreaking plea to the public to stop panic-buying after she was greeted with empty supermarket shelves following a 48-hour shift.
Dawn Bilbrough, from York, filmed herself in her car in the supermarket carpark talking to the camera about how she couldn’t even buy basic food such as fresh fruit and vegetables.
In the video, she reminds people that it’s going to be people like her ‘looking after you when you’re at your lowest, so just stop it’. “I had a little cry in there,” she continues. “I’m a critical care nurse and I’ve just finished 48 hours of work.
I just wanted to get some stuff in for the next 48 hours. “There’s no fruit, there’s no vegetables - I just don’t know how I’m supposed to stay healthy.
