He told us he was planning to venture out of his home one last time today to buy food and essential supplies before being stuck in his flat for the duration of the lockdown.
He took his phone along to film it all for us.

Mind you there are no deliveries in or out of the zone to replinish the stores with goods so people can use these magic covid coupons silver anyone anyone silver 3:45 the punishment for driving buses,trains and planes are down so also no home deliveries 4 months look how stocked those stores are for 4 months of no deliveries and there servicing 11 million people the average major grocery story receives at least 10 truck loads of goods a day
Who is watching this in 2024?
Watching this 4 years later. Just hits you differently.
2024
I don't go a day without seeing or hearing covid at least once. Masks have become a common accessory around the world and both my life and the world is completely different forever. I haven't been the same since and I don't know when I will be.
Watching this on 22nd March 2024z
Watching this now feels unreal. Itโs like a post apocalyptic movie

Nostalgic.
Historic moment of the first scripted reality pandemic.

Maybe Ben will see this, but this video was the first indication to me things were going to get bad. A full month before the "West" started to freak out about it. So, thanks Ben & Channel 4 news. You probably helped save my parents life.
need to know the song at 4:33
Watching this 2 years in post pandemic period it looks surreal. ๐ถ
Goodbye Pandemic
