The panic buying hadn't hit our part of France when we last went to a supermarket. But that was Wednesday and Macron's speach to the Nation was Thursday. With kids of school I guess it will do now. Part of me wants to laugh because it is stupid. Part of me wants to shake people (I can not do that because we are advised not to make physical contact!). I hope that people will think more kindly on the people from other countries (some of which we have helped destroy through war). I think most people up to now have thought that we in the West are safe. That we are in stable countries with stable economies. This virus has shown how vulnerable we all are. Not to the virus itself but to things out of our control changing the way we live and altering our lives.
