Rejected petition Introduce a modern day rationing system to cope with COVID-19 ‘panic’ buying.

I ask that the government, supermarket bosses, local food suppliers, logistics experts etc all show leadership & put their heads together to come up with a contemporary take on the rationing system so that everyone can have one less thing to worry about in these unprecedented times.

More details

Supply chains are failing & will continue to do so as long as COVID-19 remains a dynamic event. ‘Panic’ buying severely impacts the elderly, key workers & vulnerable people, those who we are supposed to be protecting the most. Simply asking people not to ‘panic’ buy has not worked. Food & essential items should be distributed in an equal & fair way. This can be done in 2020.
