People in Australia are doing big panic shops due to corona virus fears. Someone in Sydney pulled a knife on another shopper in a fight for toilet paper. There has been one death so far in Australia from corona virus, afaik.

There are two major chains of supermarket in the shopping centre near me. One was sold out of TP after the mad rush and the other was stocked as normal. One of the major news orgs here even mentioned our specific supermarket as one of the harder hit in the country but 50m away was a shop that had no problems at all. This country is so stupid.

Same stupidity in Ireland. Lidl had no hand sanitizer the other day I was there. And same today except one of the staff came to stock it up. She said they’re not out of it, people just snatch it all off the shelves and they have to replace it.

Same experience, coincidentally (I'm sure) the store that sold out also has indoor parking.

Our Safety and Compliance officer sent out a company wide email to forward to our customers informing them about corona and how "Our employees health and safety is the utmost importance" and I'm confused because

1) we're a warehouse that stores and ships for other companies and never interact with those people outside of emails

And

2) if you care about my safety where the gently caress are my sick days?

The supermarket new my house was sold out the other day, then yesterday evening I went past there and saw someone coming out with a literal trolley full of toilet paper. So I guess they restocked, and then probably ran out again almost immediately.

A friend works for a big company and they got sent a bunch of emails from HR saying how committed the company was to their employee's health and wanted to assure everyone of how much work they're doing to keep everyone safe.

Which all boiled down to 'we will be supplying some generic brand hand sanitiser in the break room'.

But, of course, everywhere's sold out so there's nothing in the break room and now staff are stealing toilet paper from the rest rooms and the HR people are just so angry at everyone laughing at them.

I'm doubtful there's a huge market for people buying toilet paper from some guy's car boot. This seems more like the people loading up their vans with Wii Us.

Searching Gumtree and eBay shows that there are people trying to make a buck that way. Plus a whole bunch of people being silly and listing a 30 pack of poo poo tickets for $500k.

All we got was an email from management with some fun tips like "wash your hands immediately if you are somewhere people have been" and "instead of shaking hands, try a fist bump or small bow"

No no you list it on Amazon for like 10 bucks a roll and people don't bother checking the price or if they're getting one roll or a 6 pack.
