This mornings headlines… BP petrol stations and Iceland stores are the first to be shut by pingdemic: More than 20% of shop staff could be isolating in weeks - with 1.7M people 'pinged' already - as business leaders vent their fury on conference call and plead for action https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9811905/Iceland-stores-BP-petrol-stations-shut-pingdemic.html Pingdemic means supermarket supply chains ‘starting to fail’ Behind a paywall at the Telegraph so here’s some text from the article… Shelves were empty of supplies including bread, meat, fruit and vegetables in parts of Bristol, Cambridge and Southampton. Tesco said it had run out of bottled water in its warehouses as the country swelters in a heatwave, while the Co-op said supplies in "a large majority" of its stores had been disrupted "due to the impact of Covid/isolation of colleagues". A spokesman said: "This is a short-term but significant impact and has impacted our ability to supply stores. These issues are impacting a large majority of Co-op stores." There's an air of despondency creeping through the industry really," Mr Allen told the BBC. "Until now we've managed to keep the food supply chain running, but there's a sense of we're starting to fail on that front." Asked whether production lines were stalling, he said: "They are. It's happening already. We're starting to see that at retail level and in restaurants – everyone is struggling to get things out." Good enough reason for Rasens predicted lockdown? [/quote] Possibly. I'm still unsure how much of this is a result of Brexit as well as Covid, but at the moment I don't think it really matters. Shit needs to get sorted quick! [/quote] I think they blame it on whatever suits the agenda that day Bert! [/quote]
