Plonker?

At a stroke this idiot has ensured that every supermarket will have bare shelves by tomorrow.
I’ve met this guy, ‘out of’ and ‘depth’ spring to mind.
I am sure our kids (who due to being lifelong asthmatics are probably more at risk than us) will not be doing a 250 mile round trip every week to get our groceries.
To say this home isolation will start in a couple of weeks is meaningless, just keep quiet then give us 24 hours notice that it starts tomorrow.
