Good point.

I am not a doom-monger - I am an extremely positive and optimistic soul... but I am quite concerned about the food issues here. I have some very elderly relatives in their 90's. No internet, no mobile phone... and I'm telling them to stay indoors! Hard to do when it's just not possible to order food for a month.

I am sure there are countless people in the same situation.
