Risso Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Bought the raw ingredients to make alcohol-based hand sanitiser from Amazon. Basically surgical spirit and aloe vera gel. Bought a load of little squeezy bottles as well, so going to make some for when I go to London and have to travel by tube, and give the rest to the neighbours, quite a few of whom are getting on a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Toilet paper had completely sold out in the Sainsburys I was in yesterday, cereals were also running really low, Weetabix had completely run out, I only recognized that it was weetabix that had sold out because there was a card in front of the empty space on the shelf that said 'weetabix'.

Seat68 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I guess I can have a bacon sandwich but realistically it is what nostrodamus pretty much foretold. Bargain supermarket runs out of bagels (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 1 hour ago, sne said: Italian authorities are expected to decide on Saturday night to ban entry and exit without special reasons from Lombardy, Reuters writes. Another 11 provinces in regions in the worst-affected areas of Veneto, Emilia Romagna and Piedmont are to be subject to the same travel ban, according to Reuters. Residents in the areas covered by the regulation are urged to move around only to meet basic work needs, or in an emergency, reports SVT. Not quite China levels perhaps but still extraordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it just mentioned by someone and now that’s a self perpetuating panic buying because other people are panic buying? I’m not sure the type of thicko that buys all the hand gel so nobody else can wash their hands has really done any deep thinking. Ever. Yep it’s crazy, really don’t understand. Unless I’ve missed an article where mummification is the only way to survive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Can’t help but be impressed by Chinese construction methods. Hotel built in 2018 and currently being used for people in quarantine has collapsed. BBC Quote Chinese state media says the hotel was being used as a quarantine facility monitoring people who had had close contact with coronavirus patients. The hotel reportedly opened in 2018 and had 80 guest rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Sky News Quote He said that because toilet paper has a longer shelf-life than many food items, is prominently featured in aisles and is big in size, we are psychologically drawn to purchasing it in times of crisis. He said: "The bigger they are, the more important we think they are. "If we had an international sign for panic it would be a traffic warning sign with a toilet paper roll in the middle."

Genie Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It’s odd because if the absolute worst came to the worst we could just wash our arses another way. You think food stuffs would be more critical in an emergency. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
