You're over reacting. Chill out.

I don't need to do anything, that's the point.

You guys are stressing so much you'll end up making yourselves sick.

I must get a few more packs of toilet rolls.

I'm down to my last 3 packs of 18 rolls, and it could be a long scarcity. Tongue

When i was a small child, i remember we didn't have 'nice' toilet rolls, as such.

Our 'toilet rolls' were small squares, of old newspaper pages.

Someone would cut old newspaper pages into about 4" x 4" squares, and then stand them all on edge on a flat surface, to bring the squares together, then a metal skewer went through one corner of all of the squares,
and lastly a piece of string was poked through the hole in all of the sheets, and tied into a loop.

And that was our 'toilet roll'.

Read this article, its exactly what I've done. Not panicked but quietly prepared .

A virologist at the forefront of coronavirus research has warned Australians to stock up on essentials to prepare for home quarantine and school and work closures when the new coronavirus sweeps through the country.

"Are you set up at home to have some stuff for a couple of weeks to keep going, to have stuff to eat (like) canned food, dried food. Do you have (home-based activities) to do? Have you got batteries?"

Yeah, doubt it does much. Better off being conscious to not touch your face then wash hands when done.

Reply #88 - Mar 4^th, 2020 at 5:17pm Coles and Woolworths have now put limits on the numbers of toilet pack rolls but they waited until all the shelves were empty first. This is example that our country is run by absolute morons. They need to be sacked and proper administrators put in place under emergency powers. ScoMo has done nothing.
