Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Most local shops have pasta, toilet rolls etc. This virus is certainly outing the utter dregs of society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The shops are all out of rosemary which is largely inconvenient for my roast lamb tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Was in ASDA earlier stocking up on wine (McGuigans Chardonnay and Campo Vieja Rioja) and saw my first surgical mask wearing person IRL.Saw 2 at Sainsbury's yesterday on the way in, pushing a trolley that had almost certainly been touched by someone else that day. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, my Scotmid isn't running out of anything other than antiseptic wipes, don't think they ever stocked hand sanitiser. Local Tesco Metro much the same, both a bit low on toilet paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I live near the heart of the Chinese community in Glasgow and so seeing people wearing surgical masks has never been particularly unusual. For some reason it is odd to see a non-Chinese person wearing one though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I was in Ikea earlier and the woman in front of me bought 700 paper napkins. I'm guessing she won't be using them to wipe her mouth. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got to the checkout was told I was only allowed one packet despite no signs in the pasta aisle about any restrictions. Shows how much other folk must have been taking the piss with their stockpiling. 1 hour ago, Granny Danger said: Was in ASDA earlier stocking up on wine (McGuigans Chardonnay and Campo Vieja Rioja) and saw my first surgical mask wearing person IRL. I saw a couple of middle aged women with masks on the bus yesterday. Surreal, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The shops are all out of rosemary which is largely inconvenient for my roast lamb tonight. The unseen consequences of the toilet paper shortage... Some arses will smell pretty herbal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) You’re meant to catch a sneeze or a cough in a paper napkin and bin it, so it is conceivable that people aren’t bulk buying them for (in one sense of the word) arsehole reasons.

invergowrie arab Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 20 minutes ago, Peters Wyngarde said: How can visits from family and neighbours be deemed an acceptable risk but bingo isn't? Because family and neighbours is controlled. You know if you are symptomatic, you know of they are symptomatic and you can put in controls like hand washing on arrival and between the two of you you know it's done. Even if you are infected and asymptomatic, if you both keep hands clean, don't touch your face, cough into hankies etc and keep physical contact to a minimum it's not to say you would pass it on. Nobody is saying it's 100% safe but it's better than having older people isolated for weeks on end for all sorts of other reasons. And to be totally blunt you might infect a family member and they might die but the overall risk to the system as a whole means that that is acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Planning for a mass viral outbreak while generally under resourcing public services is like me planning for an Olympic 100m final but continuing to drink beer and eat chippies on a weekly basis. To be pedantic, it isn’t true that the UK Government didn’t have plans for a pandemic flu before all of this. There are clearly lessons to be learned from countries who have prepared for/dealt with this far better though. It’s going to be interesting/horrifying to see the glaring weaknesses in the UK economy come to light at the peak of this. Not just with the resilience of public services but with the level of insecure employment, precarious personal finances etc. This will raise plenty of questions about how Britain goes about normal business. Which we’ll definitely find the wrong answers to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
