Coronavirus Panic: Some Store Shelves Empty in UK, Australia, Czech. Republic & South Korea
[Summit] Some store shelves in the UK, Australia, the Czech Republic and South Korea are beginning to empty as coronavirus panic buying increases and people begin to hoard products.

As we previously highlighted, Italy experienced panic buying at some supermarkets in affected regions after hundreds of people were infected with coronavirus in just a few days.

Now similar concerns are leading to empty shelves in other countries around the world.

In the UK, supermarkets in the town of Cheltenham all ran out of antibacterial hand gel.

"Tesco in Tewkesbury Road, Sainsbury’s in Gallagher Retail Park and Morrisons in Up Hatherley have all got empty space where the antibacterial hand gel should be," reports Gloucestershire Live.

It’s a similar situation in Sydney, Australia, where shelves have been stripped of medicine and toilet paper. Longer lasting food supplies are also running out.

#1 A bad weather forecast will do the same within a 100 radius of Atlanta. Without a panic, on-hand story inventories are seldom over 3 days.

#2 Tesco's stock control isn't exactly perfect...

Recently a shop I was in ran out of diet tonic water!

#4 German yellow press is reporting the same about German supermarkets.

Complete BS. Antibacterial hand gel is hard to come by, but soap isn't. Toilet paper neither.

Go to Venezuela.
