Another FB sales page has a small bottle of sanitizer for Ł 300 !!! Surely people would not pay that,would they ?

[smudgie]

Pleased to see eBay clamping down on profiteers making money from selling at such ridiculous prices.
My anti-bac wipes are on offer, half price at Ł1, noticed them priced at Ł12 by some robbing twits, not only on eBay either.

As to loo rolls, well, I nearly always have at least 100 rolls in the house to start with, buy the 24 roll packs, one or two at a time.
Come in handy for sneezes and coughing.
Anybody that visits know there is one handy next to their cup of coffee.
I might have ordered an extra pack of two over the past few weeks....so shoot me.

also sorry for that one post over there, just getting fed up with all hysteria, panic at the moment

only thing where i listen to is RIVM, i don't look at tabloid nonsense, also you can't say anything now about this virus

but the way i see it, it is a worse than usual flu virus, so anyway my thoughts are with all elderly and vulnerable in the world, that's the only reason i am bit invested in this topic

also in that other coronavirus thread, the OP stated ''100 years after spanish flu'' well you cannot compare this to spanish flu anymore since this corona targets elderly, vulnerable and spanish flu was targetting young, healthy people so really different

Apparently asdas have a quantity limit on hand sanitizer and toilet rolls. 2 packs per customer.

Didnt see anyone stopped for loo rolls but saw someone have eight bottles of hand sanitizer taken off them and I know the lady on self scan and she said it's been pathetic, people trying to buy baskets full of it

People that wipe their bums with their hands must feel smug right now.

I saw a white van and someone wrote on its dusty door "no toilet rolls are left in this van overnight"

the way UK deals with this virus

living in fear, panic, hysteria isn't healthy either

i appreciate how calm my dutch government remains, how there is no panic at RIVM here at all, my province brabant is in a slight lockdown, some schools are closed, most who cough, sneeze, have fevers MUST stay at home, and they also do, some where schools are open, some children aren't going, some teachers also aren't working

all for precaution, which is good


we got some dutch people living in northern italy, they had said their current full lockdown feels like jail, dutch reporters on site covering this news story had said everything feels quiet, with stores/bars/museums closed


so i definitely hope these precautions from my country, and certain other countries, and now Italy's (bit late) efforts also help at slowing down the spread of the virus

The stockpiling crisis that has hit supermarkets across Asia has spread to Europe as consumers start hoarding groceries and hygiene products amid fears of a coronavirus pandemic.

Grocery stores in Germany and the Netherlands -- where the local phrase for stockpiling is “hamster buying,” as it is akin to the pet rodents stuffing their cheeks with nuts -- face high demand for staples such as toilet paper. Supplies of hand sanitizer gels are rapidly selling out in France and Britain, and the French government is considering capping the price after some retailers were reported to be taking advantage of the demand.

this whole hysteria just needs to stop

[AnnieK]

To be fair, the Government are.pretty calm about it, advising people not to panic buy but once it starts its hard not to join in.
