I think that the corona virus disruption will cause a substantial economic downturn, which potentially combined with (worst case) an increase in availability of housing due to mortality in the highest risk groups (70+). 

 

Italy is in lockdown, and I don't think it'll be the only European country to go down that route. England is the most densely populated country in Europe and the potential for transmission is better here than almost anywhere else.

 Economic down turn, good luck with that. I've got a little stack of money, trying to get a house with a bit of ground around here...

Be thankful for that, the other option would have been Steptoe. Thats not even worth thinking about.

I’m not too worried. My missus is an obsessive ‘special offer’ buyer, she bulk buys all year round, our pantry looks like it is owned by a Doomsday Prepper.

I just wish they wouldn’t keep saying the elderly are most at risk, I may have to cancel that 6 week luxury 7 seas cruise
