Small businesses will be devastated.
At least the big food retailers are doing ok- for now, until peoples money runs out.
They have now implemented a 7-8 am time for the elderly only to be able to get some food supplies without having to navigate the hoards.
My 96 year old mother reckons she has not seen anything like this in her time, scary stuff.

During your dear mother's time wasn't there plenty to be scared about?
1. Spanish 'flu with no treatment/ knowledge of prevention..
2. WW1 & WW2.
3. The nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction scenario.
4. Ozone layer depletion and Climate Change.
5. Asbestos, lead in paint, lead in fuel, smog, no health and safety, no antibiotics and my own personal favourite:
6. The Bogeyman!
