If we had just had very strict isolation for old and vulnerable people - statistically the only ones that are at serious risk, we could have circumvented most of the debt we will now suffer for decades. I feel for the next generation. Stockpiling will stop once people realise they can get food - it's already clear in my local shops, that a lot of the panic is ebbing away. When we look at our future tax bills etc, there will be no panic, just despair.
