Vicious cycle.

When you eventually find a supermarket with stock, you'll stock up ? Buy more than usual ?

Because it will happen again next week and probably harder to find next time.

We have not 'stocked anything but with the way stupid is going, we might have to join stupid

Not normal in the suburbs, went past Aldi Hawthorn cars lined up out of the car park and down the street, wife was in Blackwood and same with the Coles up there. Might try tomorrow as need to grab a few things for the week ahead.

Not sure if I should freak out or just carry on, so much misinformation out there.

UK over-70s to be asked to self isolate for up to four months
Here is some from Hancock’s announcement earlier. He said requesting all over 70-year-olds to self-isolate is a “very big ask”, but is a measure which is for their own “self-protection”.
In the coming weeks, over 70’s will be asked to self-isolate for up to four months, in order to protect them from the virus, he told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday.

It's bizarre, my 2-3 local supermarkets all had plenty of meat/fresh fruit and veg...but if you wanted pasta ,flour, cereal, tinned tomatoes/soup/beans, passatta, cake mix, rice, long life milk, soap and not to mention any paper products you were going to be dissappointed.

That's the problem with panic buying (same as runs on the bank, etc), it becomes irrational to NOT join in.

Abstaining won't stop others from hoarding, it will only leave you without what you need. The art is seeing the signs early, taking risks and getting ahead of the curve. The risks are that you've misread the signs and act without cause. But the costs of over-reacting are far less than the costs of under-reacting.

Next phase - if the countries that supply us with refined petroleum products close down refineries or the vessels that bring them don't make the journey, Australia has less than 7 days strategic reserve.

Spent last 4 days in the adelaide cbd and it was so peaceful. Outer burbs were busier than the inner diamond.

Exactly what's happening. I'm guilty of buying a 25kg sack of malt grain and some hops and yeast.

I should be good for a few months. ;)

I picked up 25kg of Voyager Pale and 25kg of Veloria. Also 1kg each of light and dark crystal and 350gm of Amarillo, Ella, MAgnum and Goldings.

Bring on quarantine. I'm keen to get a brown ale, porter and dank IPA ready for the winter
