British supermarkets are prepared for food riots if panic buying becomes widespread in the worst-cast scenario of a coronavirus pandemic, a retail expert has said.

It came as Boris Johnson tried to reassure Britons he would 'keep the country fed' and urged people to refrain from stockpiling essentials as photos circulated of empty shelves in supermarkets.

Create panic and chaos
The people won't realize the economy was doomed to crash any way, but instead will assume the virus caused the economy to crash. Black Swan Event.
The criminal central bank owners get away with printing money from thin air for the past 12 years and buying up all of the assets with free money. Nobody will blame them, when they can blame the virus.
Tell me I'm wrong?
If you don't already know how to make bread, this would be a good time to learn.
And pasta. All it takes is flour and eggs. Add some salt, pepper and butter and you got a very filling meal.
