Religion and politics guys, two things you do not discuss in a pub, although it's hard to ignore a cocktail swilling God botherer waddling around burned out towns forcibly grabbing people to shake their hands whilst claiming on UK tv that "it's all under control and we don't need any help" just give me 30 seconds with the F'g useless piece of ****. As for "the electorate" weal, people get the politicians they deserve, so all those toilet paper/flour grabbing folks voted apparently for the same principals that you hold dear, sorta grabs you by the boo boo don't it

Diarrhea is not a typical symptom of Corona virus.
Some people don' t have any symptoms at all, one article I read is that the virus has been around since the sixties and most people would have had it at some stage and in some other form, obviously not in the form of SARS or MARS or as COVID19.

Here are some facts from a few days ago
Everyone take a breath... you don’t need more toilet paper! That won’t help with the Coronavirus BUT HERES SOME INFORMATION THAT WILL!
82,000 People are sick with Coronavirus at the moment, of which 77,000 are in China.
This means that if you are not in or haven't recently visited China, this should eliminate 94% of your concern.
If you do contract Coronavirus, this still is not a cause for panic because:
81% of the Cases are MILD
14% of the Cases are MODERATE
Only 5% of the Cases are CRITICAL
Which means that even if you do get the virus, you are most likely to recover from it.
Some have said, “but this is worse than SARS!”. SARS had a fatality rate of 10% while COVID-19 has a fatality rate of 2%
Moreover, looking at the ages of those who are dying of this virus, the death rate for the people UNDER 50 years of age is only 0.2%
This means that if you are under 50 years of age and don't live in China - you are more likely to win the lottery (which has a 1 in 45,000,000 chance)
Let’s take one of the worst days so far, the 10th of February, when 108 people in CHINA died of Coronavirus.
On the same day:
26,283 people died of Cancer
24,641 people died of Heart Disease
4,300 people died of Diabetes
Suicide took 28 times more lives than the virus did.
Mosquitoes kill 2,740 people every day,
HUMANS kill 1,300 fellow humans every day,
Snakes kill 137 people every day,
Sharks kill 2 people a year.
Let’s tackle problems that matter! Like in Australia one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.

The panic buyers did me a favour, 5 kg of Wallaby bread flour Coles and Woolies generally around $12 for a 5 kg bag. Hindustani Imports $32.60 for a 25 kg bag of Wallaby flour. Win win, thank you, you panic merchants.

A link to symptoms from multiple sources. Apparently there are two different viruses aligned to the coronavirus. https://www.newscientist.com/articl...are-there-two-strains-and-is-one-more-deadly/

I think if you contract the virus, toilet paper's probably the last thing you'll need but the herd mentality of countless numbers of idiots is simply mind blowing. People in punch ups, getting tazed & a woman pulling a knife over toilet paper is just ridiculous. Doomsday preppers wiping out all stock of toilet paper is just so damn stupid & totally unnecessary. FFS, wake up to yourselves & stop being driven by the one sided crap the media keeps pumping into your heads. For me personally, I'm just going to sit back & watch what unfolds & I'm so confident that my one bog a day routine probably won't change so I just bought one toilet roll just to prove that I'm not at all concerned with what's going on.

Where the hell do you buy just ONE toilet roll? The smallest pack I could find had 4 in it (which is what I bought cus there's a female in the house that seems to believe we have shares in a pulp mill)

I couldn't carry the 4 pack, too bloody heavy.

Chicken Little's? The boy who cried Wolf! Stimulus of some sort. How advantageous may it be for some to scare the herds this way or that? Intentional or unintentional this is one interesting/disturbing social experiment.
Nothing to panic about and yet there is an unnerving observation of panic being displayed.

Forget the loo roll shortage. A brewer can't even get his hands on a freezer these days. Although there might be a bunch of second handies available when this whole things blows over, eventually. https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/heal...-melbourne-residents-to-buy-freezers-c-740795

It seems that soap is the new toilet paper (as in the latest target for panic buying, not what you wipe your ring with......)

I went to a beer festival in Tassie about 7 years ago. Half the people there had Corona! Made me sick!I doubt there would be any Corona there.
I could be wrong though.

for those who didn't notice Sydney skys today there was a hidden message . . . (wash hands)
No. It was right outside the Boags brewery in Launceston. Awesome weekend. And Corona Buckets everywhere!.
Who would go to a beer festival to drink Corona?
[QUOTE="Blackman, Who would go to a beer festival to drink Corona?[/QUOTE]
Who would go anywhere to drink Corona?
Is it even beer?

BaaWhaaaa HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I called in to get some bread flour even that was gone, I think there are some seasoned doomsday preppers at work.
Holy f@ck that's the funniest **** I have seen so far!!!!
Well us Remote Rural types (in inverted commas)... you know... Hillbillies... that's how we shop normally furkers!!! You try wiping ya arse with a wombat??? The furkers are fast!!! But soooooooo soft and furry.... best thing is they clean their coat in just a jiffy ready for ya next turd... but thay maybe a little gun shy next time round... possibly a bit bitey... that's why possums are disposable one use really...
Oh yeah! Forgot? Yep you're all going to die...die...die... Devil forks in the air with double fist pump playing "DIE MY DEAR" Metallica version live garage days CD.
Don't look now but the great heist is happening as we speak... who benefits from a stock crash masked/veiled as a pandemic crisis? Don't look now but your beloved GOVT just took your cash away and your civil liberties via the pandemic... Bail in for the banker/robbers... alls well no?
Hoard beer and ammo my friends... it'll be your only chance against the Police State coming to a shopping mall near you...
