Just had a good chat with my local pharmacist, who usually stocks bog rolls, and he reckons that there is plenty of profiteering going on with the dunny rolls through e-Bay etc AND being sent to China ...a la kiddies formula.
For sure, Ebay has ridiculous ads for toilet paper and current affair had this person of international extraction selling Toilet paper for $2K for a large multipack.

Bunnings sell commercial Toilet paper in large rolls, buy a box of that and you will be covered for 6-12 months.
Supplies dwindling however and no re-stocking..
Westfarmers buy on price, the cheap stuff from China, China re-opened all it's industry yesterday, but there will be weeks of backlog and even the shipping lead-time is about 4-6 weeks.

If a worker gets COVID-19 at Kimberley Clarke, Asaleo or The Sorbent they'll have no choice but to close those factories!

I know in some of the big organisations/companies there has been talk of having "virus shifts", because form most workers it's just a runny nose that won;t stop them working, so they'll lump them altogether into contaminated strike-teams and have them work together with fogging procedures in-between shifts. Let's wait and see that go wrong!

Interesting isn't it, the reaction from The Rage and News Ltd, socialists want anarchy, News Ltd wants profit and control, or perhaps even Rupert preservation?

Trump closes the borders, but they already have COVID-19 there, they'll start shooting kids who get too close to the President soon! Those really in need of protection are the elderly with respiratory conditions, not healthy school kids.

Last year there was a very sad story, a mother was a germaphobe who never let her little girl get dirty or socialise with a kid who had a runny nose, she kept the house sterilized and disinfected. At 13 the girl caught and died from the flu! The point is kids will get COVID-19 eventually, and getting it in their youth gives them long term resistance to COVID-19 and potentially other related strains of coronavirus. Shielding them too much now might not be doing the right thing for them long term, they might escape a COVID-19 infection, but what about the next one, and there will be a next one there is no doubt about that?

Most people, the vast majority get a sore throat and runny nose, some get a headache and fever, some get a headache and fever just from reading the papers, the over the top reaction from the trivially inflicted floods the wards with people who do not need to be there, locking away hospital beds for the few people who really need them, those who have a severe reaction or pre-existing condition.

Even on the "Death Ships" as the media now call them, only about 50% of people got COVID-19, despite being trapped in that confined and infected space serviced by a handful of equally infected staff, and only a fraction of that 50% needed any critical care. What really putting the wind up the politicians and media types is this, the people in control in those positions of power are old like me, and they are more susceptible to complications like pneumonia than their children or grandchildren. Most of the decision makers are independently wealthy, they don't have to worry about not having a job next week or next month!

We are such a selfish race, as shown by the bog roll debacle, and gutless as well!

Norbits are running around boasting and laughing about getting an unscheduled holiday, they won't be laughing in a week or two when the factory or office doesn't re-open!

Tradies are already hurting, the order books are quickly emptying, the flow on will be dramatic!

The first thing to do is turn off the TV and radio, so the panic merchants an social anarchists suffer as much as you! You wait and see, they'll sit around and claim they are offering a public service and must be exempted! They are the real cause of this panic, not the virus! ;)

Please do not get me wrong, I'm not claiming the virus shouldn't be respected, but let's be realistic about it compared to say skin cancer or the road toll. As many or more people will be killed on the way home today by an aberrant driver, some might even be killed by a driver who has been panicked into drinking or insomnia by the virus hysteria!

The health system's economic rationalists have evaporated faster than the Greenies at a bush fire!

We've built a health system that has just but not quite enough, not a square to spare!

A 90% cure for everybody! ;)

The advice coming out of the government is so bloody confusing. Gatherings of more than 500 people are banned, but not until Monday! Why wait? AFLW is going ahead tonight. What? GP was just cancelled! Gatherings of 500 or more are banned, this doesnt apply to public transport, Schools or Unis! Che? FFS

Scotty from Marketing hard at work!

In reality banning schools and uni might be counterproductive, as the epidemiology suggests most kids will get a cough or sore throat and get over it very quickly with a newly developed partial immunity. Lock up their parents/grandparents instead? :o

As I wrote before, it's the rise of the Gretas, poor old Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones and Rupert Murdoch must be hyperventilating!
