In general proper hand washing is as good as using a hand sanitiser. However for people such as my mother who is in her eighties and suffering from cancer hand sanitisers can be vital. She needs to have one in her hall so that visitors make sure they don't carry in any infection.

We cannot get hold of any, but ut my local chemist told me that when they got a stock in recently people were grabbing handfuls and they were sold out in minutes.

Can I just appeal to people to be aware that if, as a healthy low risk family, they are depleting shops of hand sanitisers, many of which will remain in cupboards unused, they are depriving ill and vulnerable people and their families of a simple way of keeping a loved one safe.

Please, if stocks are replenished, don't hog them and stock pile.. Leave enough to keep ill and vulnerable n people safe.

Pretty much all of the online shops from Tesco/Supervalue etc have been down for the past hour.
Yes - the panic has well and truly began.

CrankyHaus

Had the same experience at 3 supermarkets that I dropped by after lunch. All full car parks. Didn't bother going into any.
This is just the idiots panicking after schools were suspended. The panic buying will blow over soon. Even in worst affected countries the supply network for virtually everything apart from sanitisers and protective equipment has remained intact.

Bloke in front of me had two trolleys of food, including 20 carrot cakes. I'm trying to get my head around how long it takes to go through 20 carrot cakes, even in a place that likes them.

Imagine the state of his skin (and innards) after eating all those.

Give it a few days. People are losing their minds now but once people have stocked up and the next deliveries arrive in the shops it'll be grand. The supply chains are good. A friend of mine works in the supply network for a large chain. He said they have warehouses full of stuff it's getting it delivered that's the slow bit.

Plenty of vegan foods still on the shelves.

Hope they’re panic buying condoms as well to prevent the spawning of future generations of stupid.

The time has come to crack each others' heads open and feast on the goo inside.

Same deal here, had to walk out of 2 supermarkets, all I wanted was a f*cking sambo!

That's because all the vegans have already succumbed to the Panic. Most of them are so weak they would blow away in a strong gust of wind.

No need to panic but

WE

ARE

ALL

GOING

TO

GET A BAD COLD

Same here. You would swear it was Christmas or something absolutely crazy. There was even a woman wearing a mask in the shop.

Each morning the stocks will magically replenish, who would have thunk it. I'll wait a few days for the craven idiocy to subside, then carry on with my shopping as normal.

I shouted at some bloke with his sandwich in hand to go in front of me. Queue was 10 people deep with multiple trolleys. Poor bastard would have been there for half a hour just to get some lunch.

A bloody 60 seater bus of old people was pulling up outside with a horde heading into the shops.

The security guy was having people queue to get in.

Cars parking on pavements or just left with hazards on in the middle of the car park.

I just wanted to get some tea bags and stuff for dinner tonight. The panic got to me though, so I ran off to get the rest of the carrot cakes. That guy was clearly onto something.

Its like the shops around Christmas eve - shops will be restocked in a day or so.

I fully understand that, if you are trying to keep ahead of Covid 19 you have got to eat healthy!

She might think it's Halloween as she's delirious from the fever.

I need to get a tin of chopped tomatoes for tonight's curry. Think I'll try a Spar and hope for the best.

The film Idiocracy comes to mind. :pac:

I bought an extra bag of spuds. There's two bags of porridge oats at home, plus loads of flour. Plenty of onions and tinned peas.

Bars of soap for washing anything and old newspaper for the bumbums.

Bring on the war, I'm ready.

What, like for Halloween? Isn't it a bit early for that?

If you can't get any, give me a shout. I'll trade you a can for two toilet rolls and your firstborn.

Fair play. I just wanted beer for the weekend in, they're doing a nice deal on hop house in Aldi at the mo.

ITman88

Aldi Tullamore like a scene from Aleppo, the parking of car’s was how I imagine a blindfolded toddler would drive.
Trolleys packed with food, and bottles of wine, someone is doing good business here!

All we need now is a good auld snow storm.

My brother's a self-employed musician so his employment prospects aren't looking good for the next month and my mother works as a tour guide on cruise ships so is expecting her next few gigs to be cancelled.
