I really don't understand the mentality of people in this case.
It's not like the virus is deadly to everyone it touches, it's not turning people into Zombies (they're already that for panic-buying) and why the hell are they buying piles of bogpaper, rice, tuna and schizz?
Maybe they intend to board up their windows and barricade themselves into their houses for 3 months. 6 months. Except, they won't, they'll still go out .... to work, school, the Dentist, get their hair done, shop for bread, meat, veg etc.
The country isn't going to topple into some sort of post-apocalyptic chaos; the water will still run, the lights will still switch on .... millions are NOT going to die and rot in the streets.
They don't dissolve into complete panic like this every time a new 'flu variation hits the country and, really, this is just the same scenario except it's a bit more virulent and a few more people will die from it than die from 'flu every year. The very young (maybe), the elderly, those with underlying health issues .... the same people that will be hit the worst by any contagion. The majority of the population will feel like crap for a week or two, then recover.
And personally I think the retail outlets are complete asshats too.
At the first sign of this sort of needless panic all supermarkets etc. should have put a strict policy in place the prevent people from bulk buying. But I guess their profits are more important than common sense.

PS. Just had 1 of the nicest lunches that I've had in a long time.
Picture this.
2 X Brioche bun's.
4 x Free range fresh eggs.
Tomato chutney.
Little salt and black pepper.
Fry eggs to taste. For me solid and no snotty eggs.
Toast Brioche bun's until golden brown.
Add chutney. Add 2 eggs per bun. Salt and pepper. Put top on. Eat. Warning maybe hot.
Was 2 of the best egg sandwichs I've had in years.
Adds some aioli and some cayanne relish and it sounds delish.
When the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, when the clock strikes heavy and there’s no time for tea; and in our darkest hour, before my final rhyme, she will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time.
There are the people that panic buy because of the virus and then there are those that panic buy because they are scared they will miss out because of those panic buying because of the virus
Maybe later down the track those that panic brought may give all the left over tins and toilet paper to a foodbank??
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!
