Panic-buying during coronavirus is “understandable” when people are worried about their families, says Scottish author and playwright Alan Bissett.
He told ý Debate Night that the current coronavirus situation reminds him of the film 'Jaws' – where a town had to decide whether to close beaches to save lives or keep them open to support the economy.
He said: “That balance has to be struck by the government at the moment."
