Honestly the whole thing just reinforces my quite pessimistic view of the human race - I mean really we're one of the better off countries in the world and a relatively serious but not that bad disease is likely several months away from really affecting the masses here - and yet people are losing their head and getting in fights and being tasered over of all things - toilet paper!
Heaven help us all if something really full on like Ebola or Smallpox variant makes it here. Covid18 is serious but generally only a really serious issue for elderly or infirmed individuals.
And the kicker is these morons going and panic buying mean that normal folks can't access essential items - now I'm not talking about myself as I always have our house well stocked and living rural I am only in town every few weeks or so - but they've basically given no thought to anyone else and just greedily taken masses of these products for either no real logic or even worse to then onsell via Gumtree/FB etc.
Alas as they say it only takes a few rotten apples to spoil the barrel - but this is a particularly inglorious effort as for a respiratory illness hoarding TP is illogical bordering on abject stupidity.
