Presumably even when you’re riddled with coronavirus you might need to go to the toilet?

That might be so but would is it 4 x 12 packs of loo roll for one person, its on a par with the still game one where navid shouts panic buy and all they have left is the domestos and the pineappleade.

Just did the shopping and can confirm that in West Edinburgh the items being panic bought are toilet rolls, weetabix and canned tomatoes.

Weetabix? Folk realise that you need milk, and that you need to go out for milk, right? 

Bet somebody a tenner that they can't eat a single dry Weetabix in under a minute and you'll win every time. One bite and every drop of fluid is sooked from your body.

Doesn't help when there are people as thick as the stupid young woman at the gym this morning.  She walks up to the water fountain, then decided that before she fills her water bottle, it would be a good idea to cough all over the fountain, didn't even get close to trying to cover her mouth.  Unfortunately in the UK this is pretty standard behaviour.  No wonder one of the Chief Medical Officers said that the chances of us avoiding an epidemic in this country were "slim to zero"

As someone who is on medication which impairs the immune system, I am angry that it seems there is going to be danger everywhere thanks to the ignorance of others.

People going to a gym isn't "standard behaviour" 🙄

 

So you are whining for no reason. Don't want to encounter folk like that, don't go.

This unfathomable craze for hoarding toilet paper wouldn't have happened before the internet imo. Soap and tinned food maybe, and possibly face masks, but I think the loo roll is solely down to Youtube and twitter. Thing is, if you see all these people at it it's hard not to think you should get some before the nutters get it all, so I got twice the usual when I went shopping and am part of the problem. :bag 

Spoiler

P.S. I've occasionally had weetabix spread with butter, surprisingly tasty if there's no milk.

I've mentioned her before, but I knew a girl who ate toilet roll. She clearly had an eating disorder and was dieting before her wedding. She ate the bog roll as, apparently, it expands and fills you up. I thought it would just dissolve in stomach acid. Anyway, she swore it worked.
