We did an online shop at Tesco but couldn't get a delivery till Monday,so it will be interesting to see if they have everything we ordered,but it was a normal food shop ,not even ordered toilet rolls or antiseptic handwash,I always have those anyway.I did notice at our local Waitrose there doesn't seem to be any shortage of things, so will go there if necessary.

i think LT has been blinded by his panic buying Neem

I had a stange incident at the supermarket... toilet roll aisle EMPTY... I see a chap with a huge cage full of 32-packs of Cushelle heading down there and think "goddamnit I'll have to grab one of those because there is otherwise literally none" - but I don't want to be seen doing it so I skulk around for a bit then head back. None there! The cage and young feller are missing... nowhere to be seen... none on the shelves. Now this was relatively late at night and the shop was pretty empty, and there were TONNES of these huge packs... so they didn't get panic bought.

My theory is that he had a van outside and he's stolen them to sell on the black market :worry:

same, I'm just using soap. I suppose if you're on public transport and out and about where you don't have easy access to a sink and soap then it's good

If you are stocking up because end of world is coming remember,rice is coming from China and pasta from Italy...lol

user104658 13-03-2020 04:31 PM

I think people might believe hand sanitizer is a magic potion. In reality, it's only 70% as effective as a 20p bar of soap and hot water. Soap and hot water (if you wash "properly", between the fingers etc.) is essentially 100% effective because coronaviruses have a protective lipid membrane. Soap breaks the lipid layer and the virus dies instantly. Sanitiser works similarly but isn't 100%.

Also people are obsessed with it having to be hand soap... shelves bare... but cheap washing up liquid will do exactly the same thing and have you seen a bare washing up liquid shelf?

However don't take LT's advice from another thread of using dettol spray on your hands. It'll dry and crack your skin and then you won't have to touch your face to catch something... it'll go right in through the gaps in your skin!

Not going to lie, I had a good chuckle at this:
