Stockpiling?

Should we stockpile stuff? Well, I said to M, there is no harm in getting in a few facemasks.
 
Too late. Our local pharmacy in Bridge of Allan said they sold out weeks ago and they have no idea if or when they would be getting further stocks.
 
I have just seen an epidemiologist on telly describing the present coronavirus crisis as equivalent to World War 2.
Lets hope he is wrong.
 
Scotland now got six cases confirmed and 115 throughout the UK.
