  2. What makes it worse is social media making everyone panic about the whole thing.

    Guy on night talk says not effecting Blacks and Hispanics and less white people because the receptors in the lungs..
    On phone so I'm not sure if it's true or not..

  7. No but the whole avoidance thing is racist.
    People are now avoiding the chinese. Not all chinese people have this virus.
    Here in Australia there are 16 cases of it.

    It's global.

    not so sure it is a dream world, I would think that people would steer in the opposite direction to that drivel. :)

    Two weeks ago the store I regularly shop at prominently displayed surgical masks and gloves for sale at $9.99 per box. Usually those items sit in the over-the-counter
    medication section collecting dust and now they’re all gone – sold out along with all the hand sanitizer.

    I wouldn’t exactly call it panicking buying like we see every winter when we’re expecting a blizzard, but those items have been slowly disappearing off the shelves
    and now there are no more left.

    Grocery List: During the Coronavirus Outbreak

    Two loafs of bread ✔️
    One gallon of milk ✔️
    Two cans of peaches ✔️
    2 Boxes of Nitrile Powder-free Surgical gloves Size XL (Black market item $75.00 Dollars per box)
    24 slices American Processed Cheese ✔️
    One Oscar Mayer sliced Hard Salami 8oz ✔️
    1 box Surgical Face Masks w/ties (Black Market item $130.00 Dollars)
    1 Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise 30oz ✔️
    5 Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer – 2 fl oz (Black Market item $20.00 Dollars, each)
    Uncle Ben’s Long Grain White Rice – 2lb ✔️
    5lb bag Red potatoes ✔️
    2 Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (75 wipes) – 1lb (black market item $10.00 dollars, each)
    3 Cases of Poland Spring Bottled Water (Go see Lingar Bewt,..lol..)

  16. Went to my local supermarket here in mt clear.
    In the toilet roll aisle they had warning signs telling everyone that they could take a maximum of two packets of dunny paper.
    There were no hand sanitisers around.

    We experience panic buying at least once or twice every year when we have a big snowstorm or a blizzard.

    But this feels different somehow because no one is really panicking as such, it’s just that the demand by the public is slowly overwhelming the available resources
     
  18. It's funny everyone is panicking in Australia.
    All because of social media telling them to wash their hands correctly.
