I've been using my fridge and freezer space for the 2 families I've been buying for who are in the self isolation period after finally getting back home to Aus after being trapped overseas.

Next week I can hopefully buy some things for me and my family...




That's good.
We all need to help each other.



Indeed.

Or, you can be selfish like Gordon and continue to panic buy & hoard with no consideration for people who can't get to the shop and/or can't afford to buy extra.



If they can't get to the shop how would they buy anything anyway?


they typically use family or home care providers take them once a week

The panic buying has come to an end

as I posted last night

the REASON supermarkets couldn't meet demand from all those afflicted by media hype

was because LOCAL COUNCILS prohibited trucks filled with stock

from accessing unloading docks

outside of business hours


Glady's put a stop to that

and overruled councils

and granted permission for stock filled truck

to access loading docks around the clock if they chose


so pretty soon, now the manufactured 'crisis' has been put to death

the shelves will be filled with stock

and when the media-fooled people SEE all that stock

they'll quit the panic buying

and normality will return to the land



it was IN the mainstream NEWS

so what's the excuse for pretending not to know about it


quite apart from the fact I posted that news here early this morning


guess it's the 'can't let a hoaxed crisis go to waste' mentality

The last debate about toilet paper usage was when I was a teenager. I would use 8 sheets of paper for reinforcement -- more than double I now use -- per wipe. Dad had a talk to us about how much paper to use. He grew up in a family of 9 where the outhouse was moved every week. The newspaper was the choice of toilet paper.

The rule was to use no more than 2 sheets of paper per wipe. We would go through a roll of toilet paper per week between the 5 of us. By myself, I have managed to use a roll of toilet paper per month. The wet wipes have halved the need for more than one wipe with toilet paper. But, because of the reputation of wet wipes clogging up sewerage systems, I will resort to using toilet paper only.

That is interesting!

Maybe they are bringing in more deliveries and employing more  staff to fill the shelves

Went up to our local Rivervale IGA a few hours ago to get some bread and several other things.

Was fairly well stocked except for the usual suspects - toilet rolls, paper towels and pasta, etc.

As I was leaving a huge IGA delivery truck was arriving so it looks like they're trying to keep on top of things there, at least (I didn't stay around to see what was being delivered).

All the panic people have been last week which made it a panic so they joined. Therefore they all have surplus stuff stacked and kick their way in to the toilet cursing the paper.

"No #% more" says the little woman and big stack panic man obeys.

absolutely    the truck drivers must be having a super run good on em....my local IGA had single 2 ply toilet rolls for $2. I gave them a pass... that to me is price gouging   but on the whole   they had meat pasta rice   tissues were again 2ply  awful stuff...

now we are blocking the sewage systems up because people are using tissues which dont dissolve.......

dont ask what else they are using.....but they are now working overtime down at the sewage plants.... Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

All states and territories have lifted the curfew for delivery hours so the logistic side will ne improved.

Yep


and the media --- had it chosen to do so --- could from the start have prevented all the food hoarding

by simply reporting the truth

i.e., that it was local councils etc. (as revealed late last night) had prevented unloading of stock outside of office hours

but no

the media portrayed it as a world's end scenario and threw most into fight to survive mode

and THEN capitalised further by reporting the supermarket biffs


Now, all that hoarding must be paid for

and many people will not have the means to pay down their credit cards

They went all stupid, like at Christmas, and told themselves this was it … tomorrow will never come .. so spend the borrowed money because the world's in free-fall and we'll never have to pay it back


and then a new day dawns

and the HOAX is exposed in the cold light of day

and people are realising they were conned

and now they can't see a way out

while all that food sits there

and most have suddenly lost their appetite


Conned

HOAX

Media scum

Politicians forced into a corner and forced to play along

and worse to come -- debt, unemployment, suicide, broken families, businesses collapsed, careers destroyed ….

no panic buying.

just strategic buying from the competant, confident, powerful, influential, businessmen to our north
