The Stand.
Quick we have to find Garry Sinise. He'll know what to do.

I still recon this is was delibratly released. Gov around the world did fkkk all untill it spread. Now they make themselves look like they're trying to contain it. Can't say that they didn't know what it was. You don't keep these things locked up in bio labs for the hell of it.

Kill off the oldies.

Yeah it should be ... a repeat of the baby formula episode.

That is also beyond hoarding ..... that is warehouse quantities for commercial gain.

Clap the manacles on straight away.

Most councils don't allow the operation of a commercial business from a residential premises either.

You must live in a white Australian enclave, Benito, where tinted, efnic vibrants (like you) do not roam.

The slippery gypsy lives in the Gold Coast which is so white it makes a Hitler Youth meeting look like an episode of the Cosbys.

That aint necessarily so.

Rice & Pasta GONE.................!

Went to get some none left.

It took a while to move onto this area!
With focus on loo paper, I was surprised rice and pasta was still on shelves all this time.
Then I noticed a trend of half empty shelves in rice section. And I’m puzzled wondering, why had panic buying not thought of with other more important dried food areas such as rice and pasta till now?

Maybe I was thinking too far ahead Grin

So let’s go our own prediction of panic trend buying to come.

I reckon all non refrigerated stuff such as (not necessarily in this order) feel free to add your own ...

Rice
Pasta
Tinned products (soups, beans, fruit, coffee etc)
Glass jar and plastic and cardboard container products (sauces, teabags etc)
Olive and other oils
Pet food (dry and packaged)
(I noticed empty shelves already with big packages dry dog food gone and also kitty litter)
Packets biscuits
Shampoos and bathroom products
Headache tablets, cold and flu lozenges, tablets, and syrup.

Not sure why batteries would be on panic buy list, I have packs of AA and AAA and takes ages to use, eg: tv remote controlled, wall clocks.
