I've been slowly stocking up for about 3 weeks, buying a bit more than I usually would and doing a big shop when I'd normally do a top up.

That's how to get ready without panicking.

Get ready for what? Undecided

Do you think more food and toilet paper will stop you catching the virus?

If the Dpt of health knocks on my door tonight and tells me I've been in contact with someone who is infected and orders a legally enforceable 2 week home isolation, how will I feed 2 adults, a 13 year old and a 3 year old without being a burden on friends/family/the system?

FFS

Do you check for reds under your bed too?

The world has gone smacking mad.

Coles, Woolworths, and Dan Murphy's all deliver right to your front door.

Moreover, with Uber Eats you can get food from almost any restaurant in town.

You've done the wrong thing if you've hoarded 100s of rolls of toilet paper.

Those people don't care about anyone else but themselves -
they are the dregs of humanity.

If it happens tomorrow I'll be fine because it's still early.
If it happens when 10% of the population has been infected, good luck getting a delivery.

I put 25% extra stuff in my trolly every shop for the last 3 weeks.

Now if I get it or I'm isolated I won't be a burden on anybody.

I have one and a half packs

I usually buy it when I'm down to the last roll so in terms of what normally do, I'm a horder.

Coles and Woolworths deliver.

They'll still be delivering next week, next month, and next year.

Perhaps you should go online and order a chill pill from them.

You're clearly freaking out.

Wrong ! The idea of stock piling is to minimize exposure to others by staying at home for as long as you can. Of course hoarding and scalping is when you go beyond rational needs !
