    I expect civil unrest in the coming weeks. Looting, theft of supply deliveries etc.

    A few Black Friday Youtube videos would pass the time though. I'm after finishing Netflix like.

    Just washed my ass as I am fearful that my jasks roll will run out. I can highly recommend this method for a perfectly clean bum with a nice aroma. I am now fearful that this will result in the reservoirs being depleted. I need something to panic about, there is fear in all our hearts.

    Everybody laughed when I got a bidet. Who's laughing now I tell ye whos laughing now

    While the virus threat will have very little impact on stocks, there was always a good chance the mindless morons would cause a run on the shops.

    Why would you have stocked up if you think the pandemic is nothing?

    Christ, can you imagine all the hipster pr!cks being all smug about how ironic they're being. Should just nuke that place (after the "party" starts) and we'd all be better for it.

    Nothing.

    The shelves will be restocked.

    Retailers will have a wry smile.

    There is nothing wrong with supply chains. I know this. Months of stock in play.

    Let people off if it makes them happy. They will end up binning loads of it.

    I'm surprised that people are surprised that there's panic buying. Waaaaayy too much faith being shown in the common sense of people.

    F*ck your bread memes. Things got old after a day of snow. Stale, if you will.

    Apologies this caused you a such a shock.

    I was actually genuinely wondering why this time it is toilet rolls rather than bread.

    Heard the tanks are rolling out of the Curragh from a friend of a friend in the army. Martial law will be declared at 6 he says.

    Mind you we have no tanks in Ireland and this guy I am talking about was never in the army, just a rumor.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to not allow new accounts post, set up a rule similar to soccer forum, just a thought ...

    It's a student bar, smug Greta's rather than hipsters.
    Still Limerick is coming out of this looking great

    Between the gowls in Askeaton wanting to run the Paddies Day parade, and this...

    I need a bigger face for all the palm I need to do!

    What’s with all the patting yourself on the back?

    All anyone had to do was look at China and Italy to see where we were heading.

    What's with the having a go?
    I don't read that a patting themselves on the back - I read that as someone who has had enough of the facehuggers on this thread. Someone who is tired, worried, and trying their best to warn people.

    The poster you are questioning has pretty much been calling it and getting s*ite for it.

    And then you have posts like the one above yours which I quoted so you can see that saying "all anyone had to do was..." is naive - to be charitable about it.
    Maybe save your scorn for those people who would put us all in danger due to being unable to "look at China and Italy to see where we were heading"?

    Why do you think Leo is in the US. He was there buying tanks.

    Everything you post in this thread is designed to cause panic.
    You could not be further from the truth.

    I am giving you a heads up on what is probably going to happen in the coming weeks (not days) based on my behavioural models. Weeks rather than days is a very significant heads up and gives you ample time to prepare in an orderly and non-panicked manner.

    Panic is what happens when people are not prepared. People who stocked up several weeks ago are not panicking.

    People seem to think those panic buying are doing so because they think shops are closing.

    No.

    A lot of people panic buying is driven by the fear THEY won’t be able to go to the shops. You can’t tell people to prepare to lock themselves in their houses for two weeks, and also lambast them for preparing to stay at home for two weeks...

    Nothing to do with the virus just always like that on a Thursday.

    You gave me a much needed laugh

    Very worried for my parents right now. Both in their mid 60s and both refusing to listen to us asking them to stay indoors.

    They think it's all a fuss over nothing
