Rejected petition Force supermarkets to limit essentials during the Covid 19 epidemic.

The general public are emptying the supermarket shelves creating a supply chain issue. Essential goods such as Toilet roll, Nappies, baby formula and dried and tinned goods such as pasta and rice amongst other items are being stockpiled at an alarming rate.
The supply chain has no issues.

More details

Force supermarket chains to regulate the amount of goods to 3-4 per person of each type of product as a maximum. Nobody needs more than 37 toilet rolls in one purchase or more than 3kg of rice for example.
The vulnerable in society are already suffering at the hands of selfish people. This needs addressing with urgency.
