My whole family has woken up with headaches, cough, sniffles.

Daughter is staying home from school, I just cancelled my rounds, wife is about to make some chicken soup.

Lucky we have a good stock of supplies so I don't have to go to the shops spreading whatever it is we have around.



It's most likely not Coronavirus.

I hope you all will be okay.
May I suggest you purchase, if you can, Sambucol black elderberry, scientifically researched to shorten your cold/flu by up to 3 days.
Elderberry is excellent to fight a virus.

Also buy zinc, like Barocca, that is put in water an is an effervescent.
And, also take vitamin D3 and C.

If you can, get colloidal silver as it will help lungs stay clearer from phlegm/mucas build up.

We have been on it for years and it helps. Any cold or flu we get is definitely shortened and we are not so bedridden much.

So, I go to chemist warehouse yesterday, to get a couple scripts for future in case they run out etc.
I notice something different to the norm, a security guard at the exit/entry checking everyone’s items and receipts.
Hmmm, something had happened to warrant that.
Has anyone gone into their chemist warehouse to notice that also?
Just wondering.

Now, I go to Woolies, I’m low on vegemite, oh, it’s all gone!
I thrown my hand up in exasperation as in wtf.
I think honey, and only sh.t mixed blossom honey or expensive ones are left. Again I throw my hand up in exasperation.
Then I go to buy coffee pods for my caffitality coffee machine, and there’s none!!! Again my hand goes wtf!

Eggs, what a f. n mess, what’s happened there?
Looks like a stampede of buffaloes went through them! All over the place with some eggs broken.
I ended up buying more expensive eggs.

Cat food, the type she likes, is non existent!
Kitty litter is just that horrible rocky one left.
I might go get sand from beach one day soon instead.

I managed to get dish washing liquid albeit half all gone.

All baby stuff completely gone.

SR and plain flour were slim for the pickings too.

Packet cakes almost all gone, as are sweet and dry biscuits and crackers.

It will be interesting next week to see how the supermarket shelves look.
It’s just getting worse each and every week.

Then if you're interested in evidence, ignore all of this and just eat well.

Seriously, all of the above is seriously smacking retarded advice

Even if scientifically proven?
Have you even bothered to check out about Sambucol?

And what is so “retarded” about vitamin C???

Remember the early sailors suffered and died with scurvy? All it took to fix that was Viramin C.

Found this which says might, fruther studies etc.

Here’s some useful information about elderberry.
And just like any food nuts berry we ingest, always in moderation.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/elderberry

Also concerning is our foods are lacking the nutrients they once had.
There used to be a fruit and vegetable basket vitamin count that was done decades ago, comparing vitamins in goods each year, and it was showing depletion, but strangely they don’t do that anymore?

Here is a link explaining about our soil and food with depletion of vitamins etc

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/

Ask the serious question, why so much illness then?
Are our foods good enough?

Why 100 years ago 1 in 100 people got cancer, it’s now 1 in every 3 !
They say prevention is better than cure.

My husband and I have made a pact, we don’t care what it costs to take supplements, we rather do that than be ill and live on prescriptions.
Margaret Fulton is a perfect example. She is a famous cook, with a myriad of published cook books, only recently passed, age 94, she said she wasn’t on any prescription and took supplements.
Here she was, a good food cook expert, and still knew the importance of supplements.

I want to be like her  Wink
I always  cook with fresh food from scratch too.
To me, chicken doesn’t taste like I remember as a kid. My parents used to have chooks and we have our own incredible tasty natural meals.
Both my parents were amazing cooks. They had been asked decades ago to cook for Restaurants but they declined because of a business they already built up.

Very emotional meme, SK, but it's total BS. Let me dismantle it for you.

Firstly, children are only having very mild symptoms so it would actually be the child going to the supermarket to buy stuff for the parents.

But for the sake of the argument, lets take the image, as unlikely as it is at face value.

Child is sick and dad runs to the supermarket for supplies. The dad would also have been infected, so now he's gone shopping and spread it to others.

This pandemic has been coming down the pipe for months and anyone with half a brain stocked up weeks and weeks ago. Every Govt in the world is guilty of neglect for not telling people to stock up and prepare to isolate themselves.

There are limited amounts of respirators in hospitals so what will save lives is to do what's called 'flattening the curve'. That means people social distancing NOW and slowing the spread so less people get sick at once, which means a better ratio of respirators to patients.

Prepping for a pandemic is like steering an oil tanker. You have to take action way before you get there.

There's a big difference to being prepared and panicking. The people who WILL be panicking are those who were too lazy or stupid to prepare in time.


It was my meme. Nothing in that meme says the kid has cornona virus. Its a sickn kid.

I've only been to a couple here in Perth, but they've always had the security guards at the front.

I suppose Woolies and Coles will need extra guards to watch over the toilet paper now.

Seen a security guard outside Chemist Warehouse at The Square, Mirrabooka when I was there Tuesday afternoon.

And, as I mentioned in a post on several days back, there was a security guard with the lady staff member at Woolworths at Maddington Central when they made an announcement and brought out a new box or boxes of toilet roll packs at the back of the store when I was there last Sunday afternoon.

And if it had to be a commentary on the current situation, that's the point.  All the panic buying by people who likekly couldn't even tell you what the symptoms were for COVID-19, or what COVID-19 was "I thought it was the corona virus" is hurting those who need it for <insert medical issue here>.

It could be anything.
