We originally had 2 week's worth but went out last night and bought enough for 1 month. Our city has it now and we want to be prepared in case we are quarantined. We have always said we should have an emergency stash as we are prone to snow storms so now we finally have it. We bought as much no-name brand stuff as we could.
With regards to swine flu how can you know it effected more people as we are only a few weeks into this so no one can have any idea what the final numbers of people who catch it/ die etc will be. From what I am reading this will be an issue for months ! And if they use to severe measures it will create a second wave in the autumn 
My sister is a teacher and she thinks they'll close a week early for the Easter holidays and/or remain closed after the holidays.
The golden rule is always anything your family normally eats.
So stuff that has a longer life such as spaghetti, pasta, pasta sauce, tortilla wraps, part baked bread, breakfast cereals, oats, rice, lentils,soya milk or UTH milk. Baked beans, tuna, kidney beans, chickpeas, rice cakes, muesli bars, soup sachets, cake, chocolate etc
Also non food items like shampoo, shower gel, vitamins.
Yes I have family in Italy and they are still able to go to work and cafes/shops/restaurants still open but numbers of people restricted (so that everyone can keep distance) and opening restricted hours. Schools closed and events etc cancelled. No non essential travel and you have to account for it if you are travelling distances eg for work etc.
I thought the same when I read that.
I did a bit of a shop on Sat at Lidl. Really disb't want to look like I was panic buying but tbh my cupboards were bare so needed to stock up!
Extra's I got were 4xlonglife milk, some mug shots, beans, drinks and chocolate.
I'm now wondering if to get a few more bits as the thought if having to join those queues as seen in Italy is not appealing. But again I really don't want to -stock pile' as I don't want to stop others getting what they need.
It's now been confirmed to be a pandemic
It’s been confirmed as a pandemic now 
I saw. I am not surprised. I wonder should I still be going to the gym? There are only 4 confirmed cases in our city but hmm.It’s been confirmed as a pandemic now
That sounds about right.
I wouldn't
I've been buying slowly for myself for the past two weeks, just as much as I can physically carry each time. It slowly does add up.
Maybe I'm just a bit weird but I don't think many others would put your family first over theirs.
