Bring in laws to stop people panic buying or buying in bulk from supermarkets and other shops during the Coronavirus epidemic, which has created shortages on shelves for everyone.
This panic/bilk buying is creating shortages and some people are missing out on essential items. Supermarket and other shops have empty shelves as a result of the actions of selfish individuals.
