I assume its the same in Europe and Germany, in principle at least. over here in Germany, reality-denial and trying to appease mathemtics still is the politicians daily hobby, especially the Germans so far stem themselves against getting restrictive and contorlling the borders. Whenever a measure gets mejtioned, the health ministre immediately is there, saying that it should not be done for this and that reason, and he has a hige fan club of officials who fall into the chorus as soon as he has stopped talking. But that guy is a extraordinary dud anyway.
People should understand this: preparing for the shortages in supplies means to also consider production shutdowns that could last for weeks and months. Which means supplies will not be delayed, but will not come for weeks and months. And that can include anything that you usually do not mind for in your household. Chemicals used to produce household cleaners for exmaple: if your country you live in produces them itself, good, but if said country depends on importing chemical key ingredients from China, or another country that gets heabily hit by the pandemic, you are screwed. Traffgic will be hit and crews will end up in quarantine, too, you know. Correction, traffic already
is hit.
Preparing reserves means a bit more than just canned food and water.
