UK tells its sheeple there is no reason to panic buy...

 Store shelves are going empty in the UK yet the government says "don't panic buy".  I agree.  You should not panic buy. You should have been buying all along like I was telling you to do, always keeping a full pantry and rotating your stock.

But if here you are with no extra stocks of food maybe a little panic isn't such a bad thing.  Better than going hungy.  As Jarad Dillian put it, "the first rule of panicking is to panic before everyone else does."

I read the UK headline as "damn right you will panic buy if you have any brains".  Remember, nothing is confirmed until we see the government denying it.
