That's why it spread so fast in Italy. We were thinking it is just a flu.
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.

Yeah, it is bad. I wouldn't call it a beer.

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.

In times like this its pretty common for supermarkets in many countries to enforce a one per customer or two per customer rule for key products. 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.
