Not chicken little sky is falling stuff, and I've got a good stockpile of bacon - just saying it is correct that the Vic lockdown will have flow on effect to other states for some goods and industries. Definitely am not sitting in SA being all "Woe is me" because we might have Dons shortages while Vic is in absolute ****-fight for their state's health and financial future.

Abattoir/smallgoods are not being shut down. There have been several out breaks in abattoirs, so the workforce and production are to be reduced for six weeks.
60% of meat grown in Australia goes to export; there will be no local supply problems.
There will be panic buying and the demand will mean the hoarders will clear the supermarket shelves again. Re stocking should happen within a few days if people just buy what they need.
