Comparing corona with a flu is like comparing a firecracker with a hand grenade. If you stay home and follow the rules there is no reason to panic. Calm down and stay home. You will be safe. |

SWMBO went to Woolworths today and came across a pallet of the home brand toilet paper. There was a security guard keeping watch and 2 big, burly staff members who were offering 1 pack to passing customers, without them even asking. That's something I've never heard of before. She accepted the offer. |

Toilet paper is back here at least in Waitrose under security guard. Managed to bag myself 9 rolls of glory today. No pasta, no chopped tomatoes, no oils, not canned fish though. |

They are going to sell all the stuff at full price whatever they do, but allowing a few people to grab everything creates long term resentment that can hurt their business. |
