Food Shortage Warning?

 I noticed this afternoon....one of the major German grocery operations.....Aldi....has said with the federal Covid-19 ban-rules set up for closing them for Thur-Fri of next week, and the Monday after that....they are going to establish purchase limits for next week (Mon through Wed).

The hint?  They have a logistical effort that sets up a delivery of a depot truck each day to each grocery.  So if you triggered a mass purchase on Monday....the odds are that they'd be short on food by Tuesday morning.  

The odds that other grocery operations will admit the same problem?  Probably near 100-percent.

I'd even make the prediction that the 3rd of April (the only day they will be open over that weekend).....will be a total mess, and a number of shelves sold out by noon.  

Maybe the government had good intentions over the closure situation, but grocery-wise, it's going to be a challenge.
