H. Hurst & Son, Bakery, Open, on Lewisham High Street, advertising Flour and Yeast for Sale, these products have been difficult to source due to Panic buying during the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic – panic buying became a major international phenomenon in February and March 2020, when stores around the world were depleted of items such as face masks, food, bottled water, milk, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, antibacterial wipes and painkillers. As a result, many retailers rationed the sale of these items. Online retailers eBay and Amazon have pulled certain items listed for sale by third parties such as toilet paper, face masks, hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes over price gouging concerns. As a result, Amazon restricted the sale of these items and others (such as thermometers and ventilators) to healthcare professionals and government agencies. Also included were household items like Bread Flour and Yeast for Baking Bread. Shops deemed non-essential are currently closed. These include shops selling clothing, books and electricals, as well as hairdressers, bed and breakfasts, and markets, whether they are indoors or outdoors.
