Introduce enforced rationing at shops during the Covid 19 problem.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Because of panic buying, people are finding it increasingly difficult to get medical and food basics, during this Covid 19 crisis. This in turn is forcing people to spend more timing hunting out in public for supplies, increasing the risk of accelerated Covid 19 spread. Please introduce rationing.
To stop hunger, hardship and to reduce Covid 19 suffering.
