Infrastucture - Covid

[Mortblanc]

This is over 3000 infections but only 9 deaths.

Sidney lost more people than that driving home drunk from the pub last week, I guarantee it.

There’s been a few items missing in our online shopping but nothing major. I’ve increased orders to compensate but to be perfectly honest I’ve not been in a shop since Covid started so it’s very difficult to substantiate the media claims.
I just dumped 80kg of flour as it was a year old so might need to order some extra flour if things start to creak.
Worth mentioning my breadmaker was my greatest asset during the last peak so I might be back to baking bread again.

Gosh. I would have made ship biscuit because they last 100 years.

And “ no need to panic buy anything “ ? ......and we are supposed to believe this nonsense they spout out , NO I don’t think so ....they will have us as dull and stupid as they most certainly are ........more baked beans anyone ! .

I have seen letters to farmers in the USA ordering the plough under of viable crop and destruction of livestock. I have seen a video of crop under ploughing in UK too. Meat and grain will be relatively cheap this year so grab everything you can afford to. All bets are off next year as prices will go skywards. I figure you already raise your own though. Extra grain to feed them.

Excess crops have always been ploughed back into the soil, especially the stuff the supermarkets dont want, its standard practice and has more to do with the price than anything else.
