So finally a ban on incoming South Koreans. Still no ban on Italian arrivals. Instead, Italians will be questioned and go through an "enhanced screening" process??

No doubt the Melbourne F1 GP had something to do with this decision. If arrivals from Italy had to be quarantined for a period, then the F1 GP would most likely be cancelled, leading to a Ma$$ive loss for the state.

Just got our Coles home delivery in, NO TOILET PAPER!

Lesson learned, when they say don't panic it's time to PANIC!

We did a quick food shop yesterday as we had been away for a few days, so I said to my wife, let's get some loo paper just in case...

Hmmm...



Funny thing though, I heard on the radio that loo paper is produced locally?

Yep the entire bottom row (pun intended ) at our local Woolies was also empty this arvo.

Although the staff doing a floor clean under the racking might have had something to do with it

During the first SARS virus outbreak (again in China). Dunny paper was one of the first things to go and it became very scarce. I suspect with many Chinese people living in Australia, they’d be in daily contact with their families back in China. These folks would be getting first hand news of what life is really like in mainland China and not the filtered garbage from WHO and MSM. Live and learn what is a necessity from previous outbreaks...

An old mate of mine jokingly said over and over, baked beans, toilet paper and bullets would be the new currency for the next revolution/pandemic.

[xxx000]

So we're back onto the racist rant i see

[.:4:.]

Pretty soon you'll be hearing of families bog roll rationing. Similar to how one tradesman i worked with as an apprentice was with electrical tape. Each apprentice got 1 roll and only got a new roll when they bought back the empty cardboard former, and got yelled at if they went through too much to quickly.

I just witnessed one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a supermarket.
Went down to our local Woolies to grab a few things for the Wife and decided to venture down to the toilet paper section to see what all the fuss is about. Now, from listening to all reports, I was expecting to find one of two things, either the shelves empty or a frenzy that could only be rivalled by the old boxing day sales, well, I couldn't be any further from the truth, what I found could best be described as what you'd see around a drug peddler on the street with people slowly shuffling around looking over their shoulders and whispering to one another about how much to grab and how to get it out.
I was like WTF, its toilet paper and if you're that worried that people think you're a freak for stockpiling it, chances are, you are.

So im standing in the checkout isle and two little Asian ladies are in front of me, they look spent and have their trolleys piled up with their 4 packets of toilet paper rations and the rest of Handy Ultra bloody kitchen towel and I got to thinking, they've probably been to every supermarket within a 50 mile radius and have now resigned themselves to substituting kitchen towel for toilet paper and it made me think, don't worry about Panadol, prescription medication or antivirals, what you're gonna need is liberal amounts of Aloe vera for your red raw **** cheeks.

So I turn to my Son and say in front of half a dozen people, if and when I contract Corona Virus and it becomes so bad that im ****ting through the eye of a needle and therefore would require a stockpile of toilet paper im just going to stand up from the toilet bowl, **** cheeks covered in waste product and run myself a shower.

How long it going to be before you go to walk into woolies and some bloke approaches and says 'you need a roll? I got rolls'. Maybe its all getting sent abroad kind of like that baby formula thing a while back. I dont know how many bog rolls china produces but i know theres many export restrictions to that general area of the world. I do know production in one factory in south australia has ramped up a gear due to extra demand for poo tickets. Im guessing plumbers will have a busy time in the near future as paper towel or tissues dont flush as well if we run out of bog rolls.

I remember the Paper in the school dunny's in the 1960's 70's good stuff and last well. it was not soft but shinny and thin sheets.

I seen that the Asians use a stick or a twig out in the country and in the city you get given only one sheet in fact. but if you are real flash place you get a water bum washer, one of my brothers mates first come across such a thing and he came in running about that he was just that impressed that when he came back to Aus he got one installed in his home directly.

I’m tempted to advertise loo paper in the non-Ford section of the For Sale here. Just unsure whether to price by the pack, the roll, the sheet or meterage.

It is great to see the F**k You attitude is alive and well in Australia.
People taking more than they need. Stuff everybody else as long as I am OK attitude.
Parasites of society.
If there was to be a shortage, the people who helped with the bushfires ect should get 1st allocations. People who actually contributed to the country in times of need.
