Limit amount of items to buy per person in the store while coronavirus outbreak
I want the government to make a rule so that during the coronavirus in shops people are only allowed to buy a specific quantity of one item so that things like nappies and milk don’t go out of stock for the people who really need it.
I want the government to do it because it’s not fair on other people who can’t afford to bulk buy or generally don’t earn enough money to stock up on essential food/items during the coronavirus outbreak. It is also not fair on the elderly who are more likely to catch the virus when some of them can’t do their weekly shops or can’t walk fast enough to get the items before they all sell out.
