Lol SFB, you got caught, you can drive a bus through a Velvet toilet roll, all "hole" and no paper, back you go.

In my area:
Toilet rolls: shelves are sparse but still available Liquid soap: out of stock Friday and Saturday but some on sale today Anti-bacterial surface wipes: totally sold out Canned food: plenty available but stocks lower than usual Dried pasta: very nearly sold out Anti-bacterial gel: no chance - totally sold out and has been for about two weeks |

Who says it's for me? This is for attracting a mate in the post-viral apocalypse.

The media have stoked the panic. If you tell people it’s deadly and millions will die it’s not surprising people stock up.,
The t roll is an odd one though. How much do people use?  |

I think it's what happens if you tell people that most will need to self-isolate for several weeks at some point. Good advice, but it requires urgently stockpiling every possible requirement for the entire household. Otherwise it won't be self-isolation.
It's people acting entirely rationally imo. If you don't have an absolute minimum of one month's worth of everything, then panic hard and, most importantly, panic first. |

We're at the stage now where people are panic buying because many other people are doing the same, not directly because of the threat of COVID-19.
There are also people buying up large stocks of gel, wipes etc to sell online. |

Seems to be cyclical. Recessions every 10-12 years. We are so global now, nothing happens that we don’t know about and aren’t affected by.
Time to dig up verges and plant tatties? Maybe not just yet.. |

Daily Mail yesterday said up to 100,000 could die. There is a sense of panic developing. I am going to keep calm and carry on. It is the British thing to do and I repeat I am reminded of the poem buy the great cake man
If you can keep your head while others around you are losing theirs.... Then I don’t think you understand the seriousness of the situation Gungadin  |

Just got back from ASDA. Fresh meat in abundance, but tins and pasta are definitely low on stock, especially the latter where there was no choice at all. Didn't check toilet roll or soap as not required at present.

People are totally pathetic as usual. When i went last night there was a guy loading what must of been at least 100 tins into his car. So caught up in their own little world they dont even realise everyone else is laughing at them.

The problem here is the knock-on effect. Take the pasta for example, there is even a separate thread on it, which I hadn't seen before I posted the above. The shelves were totally empty of pasta. When others see new stock they will now naturally overstock, because of the situation others are causing... and so the crisis deepens.

There is so much pasta in the world!
It will stay useable for months if not years. So much rice stockpiled Maybe potatoes will be worth more than oil and all the people like me who laughed when the Irish told God they would rather have potatoes than oil will be made to apologise for laughing at them! |

The only people worried are the manufacturers who won't sell much for the next 3 months.
