This panic buying is fucking ridiculous. There's no need. And eggs for fucks sake. Why are people panic buying eggs?!
So they can binge on them and give themselves constipation when the bog roll runs out Smiley

TLDR: Sports lawyers haven't got a fucking clue either

Hopefully they are panic buying contraceptives as well.

I'm sending the misses out for supplies next week. It's not that I'm panic buying, but every other cunt will be. Kind of like one of those self-fulfilling prophecy jobbies.

I'll be getting food n shit, though. Not bog roll.

Wife stocked up a bit. Not so much panic buying as panicking about the panic buying, obviously we don’t want to run out of the essentials

...and Calpol, trying to get some bloody calpol...

Not sure that's true of the medical/scientific *community*, there seems to be significant dissenting voices to the "herd immunity" line the CSO is pushing. It's interesting though that many companies are taking it upon themselves to implement social distancing ahead of govt advice to do so. There doesn't seem to be much trust in the official advice.

Yes you're right, I should have said the govt medical advisors, not the whole community.  Not many of the UK critics have resonated with much credibility to me however.  Certainly I'd rather trust Chris Whitty, whose career has been focussed on combating major infectious diseases around the world, rather than the ignorant ramblings of Jeremy fucking Hunt.

Appreciate that a major exception is the WHO woman making the point that we don't know enough yet about Coronavirus to be sure that it will behave like Smallpox, measles etc. re herd immunity.

I think that the company distancing is inevitable.  Combination of human nature and the modern blame culture.  People always feel happier to be seen to be taking action.  And companies tend to get blamed or sued for failure to act but rarely for over-reacting unnecessarily.

My daughter's grounded until it blows over (might be a while I know).

She had a bronchial infection earlier this year and she's had pneumonia in the past. It's not so much coronavirus I'm concerned about, but what if she gets another infection and there are no beds for her?

What's the intensive care beds situation like in Thailand? 

I listened today to a Uk A&E consultant saying that we have nothing like Italy's capacity here in the UK which didn't exactly sound great.
