Ration food & commodities during Coronavirus pandemic.
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Ration food and commodities to ensure fair distribution and protect reserves as there are many unknown factors with this pandemic and how long it will last
Panic buying has already cleared shelves and caused issues with supply and I have seen numerous examples of this impacting vulnerable members of our society. Only yesterday I was behind an elderly gentleman buying Ibuprofen for his arthritis because he couldn't get paracetamol, despite his Drs advice not to use ibuprofen.
