Mother's "apocalyptic" coronavirus inventory is wild

In case of any global crisis, it’s best to be prepared than caught unaware. So, in the face of the continually spreading coronavirus Jemma Reed, from Australia has done exactly that. Buying medicine and food products to last a whole year, Reed said that “with three children you can never be too safe”.

She has “approximately 50 kilos of rice and 50 kilos of lentils”, as well as medicines and weapons – again, just in case.

Her son, a sufferer of ADHD in which the majority of the medication comes from China, may not be able to get the medicine he needs if the country’s borders don’t reopen soon. She also has “150 packets of Panadol, 150 packets of aspirin, 150 packets of Nurofen, antibiotics, and bandages”, as well as asthma pumps.

Jemma said, “We’ve gone a little above and beyond.” For sustainability purposes, she has also purchased vegetable seeds and fish tanks to breed fish in. To conclude, she said, “was better to be safe than sorry and at the end of the day, everything we have can still be used even if nothing happens with the coronavirus”.
