How do we find the food ...the supplies we need to live? That is not a question most of us ever imagined we'd have to ask in modern Britain, but it is a real worry for a growing number of the elderly and the vulnerable who've been ordered to stay at home and either can not go to the shops at all, or can not risk the crowds and the queues they face when they get there. In hospitals, many are worried about the failure of safety equipment to arrive, PPE as it is known. “It’s like sending soldiers into battle without a rifle” was one description to the BBC.
