Has anyone actually contracted it yet? Interested to hear first hand accounts rather than scaremongering Sky or BBC news versions.
 
Just a thought...China is coming down the infection curve, life is starting to cautiously return to normal...even their 40 odd Apple stores are looking to reopen. They must have generated and accumulated a greater than usually required number of ventilators and ECMO machines of which the demand of them will be falling off. An agreement to ship excess machines to the next hotspot might reduce the global death rate?
 
Watching the BBC news whilst plodding along on the treadmill this morning and the moronic Derbyshire woman said the word ‘crisis’ no less than five times in under a minute. Apparently it’s no longer Coronavirus, according to the BBC it has now become ‘Coronocrisis’. I think the people of the U.K. would be best served by the government banning 24 hour news coverage and telling these spasmodic horsehumping thundercnuts to stop panicking everyone.
Sainsbury’s this morning was devoid of foodstuffs. No meat, eggs, pasta, rice or bread; just loads of elderly people with empty trolleys looking confused. No paracetamol or cleaning wipes, even all the bleach had gone.
If this country ever has to face a real dilemma we are truly f**ked.
Meanwhile in Australia. My sister, out shopping with her kids in a supermarket outside Melbourne watched two coachloads of Asian (Chinese people turn up. They piled into the supermarket and effectively stripped it bare.
We do live in strange times.
 
Still, not all doom and gloom is it? Word on the street is that both Eurovision and Glastonbury have been cancelled and there are still excellent memes out there.

Not only that but Glasto's gone as well. How will all those middle class gits spend hundreds of pounds to see mental giants of music like Stormzy and virtue signal their commitment to the environment whilst making tons of mess?
 
Wandered around Sheffield today and you’d think they were filming a remake of Threads, as long as you don’t count Boots.

Back home and popped to local Tesco, managed to fill the trolly with essentials however bread and veg were ransacked, more importantly they hand no slim line tonic, luckily Tesco express on the way home had plenty on special too.

Spent a long time in the car listening to the radio and i said to the lad, school closed yesterday, that the newe channel is just creating a crisis, of course there’s a plan to lock down London, it’ll just be one of many plans that may or may never see the light of day. Que more empty shelves in the supermarkets.
 
Boris is going to have do something about this hoarding. Perhaps just shoot a few of the them in the legs to encourage people to stop being so f**king selfish.
 
I'm already working from home so it was turned 1800 before I was able to pop out for a newspaper. Quick check in the fridge before I go out - some more milk wouldn't hurt as there's only a couple of pints left (for 2 of us). Tesco's - plenty of papers, zero milk (of any variety or size); Aldi - zero milk (of any variety or size); Morrisons - zero milk (of any variety or size); Iceland Warehouse - zero milk (of any variety or size). FFS, milk has a shelf life at home of around 7 - 10 days, so are people bathing in the stuff???
I really wonder how much of the panic bought stuff is just going to end up thrown away because it has gone off before people get around to using it. Wasteful bastards depriving others unnecessarily.

Simple. Government rename hoarding as looting and treat accordingly. As this worsens the sheeple will panic more because they are brain dead fucks and it will only get worse.

My thoughts too. I see lots of packets of pasta and rice ending up in the bin in few months time, out of date tins a plenty being disposed of and record low loo roll sales in May/June as the selfish hoarding masses eventually begin to use up the vast stocks that they have accrued. Darling daughter works in retail around her college studies. They have stopped putting rice and pasta on the usual shelves its just placed on mobile shelving by the tills then an hour later its all gone until the next delivery arrives.

There's the problem right there, in a nutshell...somebody else should do something.
How have we fallen so far ?

He's the boss man. I had to step in to stop a fight between two OAPs this morning in Tesco's over the last rolls of toilet paper as well as advise a couple of erks from Waddo to put some of the milk back they'd taken. I understand the squadron's teabars need milk but that doesn't mean they can the whole f**kin' lot.

People used to have the moral fibre to be able to police themselves, the truth is now this later generation think of themselves first and screw the rest. I'd love to stand out the front of Tesco's with a baseball bat 'advising' people not to hoard but I'd have to wear a Batman outfit.
 
Apparently there’s been a rush on carrier bags at my local Waitrose, I’m alright though I got the last one.
 
My youngest manages an Iceland store.

He spends most of his day at the tills listening to customers ...

Any bad language towards the till staff he throws them out - no recourse.

If they have more than the limited amount of rationed items he removes it before the bill is totalled, any argument, and they are removed from the store - no recourse.

One thing he has said is good is they don't have to stack the shelves, just put cartons down on the floor and open them up, customers grab the contents sometimes without even looking to see what it is.
 
It's not all bad here's the stuff left behind by the shelf raping, product hoarding, brain dead numpties. Mushy peas, Wrestlers burgers, de-caf tea bags and Vim's hair dye amongst a cornucopia of unwanted delights
