Well - with the fools having filled their larders, fridges and such, and their garages with toilet paper - I can now go to the shops and buy my small necessities - still a rush on toilet paper though.

Makes no difference really - if your fridge is full you don't go to the shops - if you want something, you can get it because the fools aren't there desperately trying to take it all. A lot easier to shop without all the sheeples wandering around with massive trolley-loads.

Now they can self-isolate and the rest of us can shop freely for a change. Remember at least 50% of the populace are below the median intelligence level, but I often wonder about that.... being in the top 2% myself I often suspect it is way out of kilter and there is some kind of accelerating fall once you drop below 100... once you reach perihelion, it's downhill all the way...on a steep slope.

How are your lungs graps, can you get a 20 year old to shop for you?

NSW has certainly told people to prepare for 2 weeks. I imagine all states have.

Some just prefer to bury their heads in the sand and/or be argumentative just for the sake of it.

I have enough food etc for 2 weeks in case I
have to self quarantine.
It's called being sensible.

Possibly - all non essential businesses to shut down in Victoria.

Andrews to say tonight.

Paid fortnightly - shop weekly or so - not much difference really. It's a close-down, not a lock-down. Silly when you cancel football matches and eating out, but still keep the shops open.... anyone in the shops could be in the pre-symptomatic phase and carrying a bug.

I saw many people at the supermarket who looked very ill -
some were coughing.

Why the hell are they at the supermarket risking other peoples lives?

A bit rough.... use asthma inhaler sometimes - no 20 year olds.

Perhaps they're listening to the people online who keep saying it's just the flu, or a hoax?

I'm taking tomorrow off work to organise essential packages for the elderly and frail in my neighbourhood.

My next door neighbour and I will be distributing toilet paper and other essential items to the people who can't get to the shops or can't afford to buy extra items.

Meanwhile, Gordon will be filling his garage with toilet paper and baked beans whilst telling his children racist jokes.

If each of those three lines are equally true, you are full of shyte and trying to signal virtue where there is none.
Anyway, why would anyone need extra items, eh? Haven't you been saying there is no need for that? That anyone that buys a few extras is a panic buying hoarder?

The people bulk buying & hoarding at the expense of the vulnerable; the people not obeying social distancing; the people telling racist jokes during a crisis = all right-wingers.

Typical.

Met an old lady (I'm only 70, but a young 70) at the supermarket yesterday - her daughter had traveled 160km to take her shopping, since she couldn't get out and about herself. Some people are making the effort for others.

The fire victim relief org I've been working (alongside) with is going into a phase of organising supplies for those in similar situations.

Anyway - The Ration Card must be on the cards... just saying...

The little kid is home here again... she must be loving not going to school...

Watched the Newcastle destruction of Tigers yesterday - no crowd, but over the fence a horde of Balmainiacs gathered as one looking over the fences from backyards.

Might as well have the crowd.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)
