The Coronavirus crisis has imposed a lockdown situation in countries across the world. People in quarantine are thinking of ways to keep themselves busy and efficient during this lockdown period. The official Twitter account of UK PM Boris Johnson's office tweeted a suggestion to try out baking to keep the family entertained on the weekend. However, netizens complained that there was no flour available in the stores.  Many people called out to the government authorities for not knowing the ground reality. UK is also among the worst-hit countries, not to forget PM Boris Johnson himself is recovering from coronavirus.

There are over 14,500 coronavirus deaths reported from the UK. A strict lockdown has been imposed since last month in order to curb the spread of the disease. Seeing the rising number of cases, the lockdown was extended recently to more three weeks. Following the news of extended lockdown, the UK PM official Twitter account tweeted, "Keep the family entertained this weekend by trying some home baking. #StayHomeSaveLives" with a picture of a loaf that read 'Stay Home.' However, just after the tweet, netizens commented that there is no flour available in the stores.

Clearly, the authorities seem to be unaware of the lack of shortage of the basics in the market. Flour and yeast are the basics of baking and as people mentioned, both of them are unavailable in the market.
