Panic buying is human nature. If you look around the world every country that has been hit by the epidemic has suffered panic buying. People buy stuff because they don't have confidence it will be there next time they visit and, as @DCLane says, they may be about to isolate for an extended period.
You can't stop demand, it's human nature. You have to stop supply (such as max 4 units of any product)

When my wife was in hospital for a year I had to learn to cook. Basically in the summer I lived on salads, while the rest of the year was centred around vegetable stew with different types of meat in it for variation. I could make a large stew last for four days.

So after Boris said if you can work from home do so, we approached the regional sales manager and said shall we work from home, he said yes, someone further up the food chain has said no they only exception is if you came into contact with a confirmed case.
Yea employers rock. Working from home doesn’t affect what we do in the slightest we even diverted the phones to home numbers.

Three week ago we got back from 2 weeks in Cuba.
Rationing and shortages are part of Cuban life.
Wages in Cuba top out at around $80 US equivalent per month. (Beer is $1-2 at a roadside stop and petrol is $1 per litre)
Basic foodstuffs (rice, beans, sugar, milk etc) are available cheap from Ration Shops - incidentally, there is no milk ration for anyone over 8 (sic)
Other things and extra food stuffs are available from other shops.
BUT, shortages are part of Cuban life, and queues 6 deep 50m long were commonplace while we were there as there was a soap shortage.
Which brings me to my point, shop keepers did the (informal) rationing of the soap - 3 small tablets (think the round tablets in hotel bathrooms) of plain unscented soap per person only.

Powered off car cigarette lighter? Could be a show for the neighbours as you stand on the drive sorting yourself out.

But how likely is that as they only test hospital cases. So they are the only confirmed cases rather than actual. Person up food chain must be thick if they don’t understand why working from home (where possible) is important.

Well if it’s powered from the socket in your car that’s the cigarette lighter socket and if you still had what used to be fitted in there you’d be able to light cigarettes as well as fires.
The design of that socket hadn’t changed in many decades

Perhaps you are not aware that Muc Off is a spray on bike cleaner which after a couple of minutes is washed off.Not sure why I would want to light a fire and I don’t smoke.
