It's great being married to a biochemist - you can get proper hand sanitizer on Amazon by looking for the right chemical names, rather than generic hand sanitizer. The usual stuff you get on Amazon and in the supermarkets just doesn't have enough alcohol in it anyway and so is next to useless. 99.9% alcohol is better than nothing, if you don't have constant access to soap and hot water. Text me for the right chemical names to seek out - it's cheap as chips and you can buy it by the litre, as no-one except a chemist is aware it's hand santizer.
Panic buying - there comes a point when buying food when everyone else is hoovering up what's available becomes plain common sense and natural prudence. If you don't, and there is a problem with supply logjams, then you run the risk of end up with nothing for what could be a long time.
I suppose the secret is to bulk buy before everyone does panic. It's like playing the stock market and gauging the critical point. The difference is that bulk buying what you would normally buy anyway doesn't result in you losing anything - you simply have more of what you would usually have in stock. Beans, pulses, cat food and bog paper - not that we eat cat food, but I would if push came to shove, and BBQ sauce on it would make it taste delicious, as my recent experiment with jackfruit has shown.
I wonder whether the Chief Medical Adviser, Professor Chris Whitty, could be persuaded to stand for Parliament in a new party - the Expert Party - and be its leader. About time we had a person as the leader of the country who is a bit of an expert in something, preferably science, rather than a jobbing journalist with a penchant for false stories. Maggie was a chemist, after all. Whitty shows all the positive traits of a leader who can command respect in a crisis.
Whitty for PM!
I heard someone (naturally, a Brexiteer who wants an ideologically pure Civil Service - the hallmark of a totalitarian state) call for the Civil Service to be run by high-flying people from the world of business. I would suggest, on the basis of this government's performance, Fred the Shred. They would have a problem finding someone from the world of business who actually supports Brexit. The Wetherspoons man, perhaps, but could you imagine him running a Civil Service department?
