It seems that panic-buying idiocy has hit the UK.









Of course the problem with idiots panic-buying is that they then force non-idiots to do the same because they risk not having any bog roll.

Thankfully here in Malaysia we all have a bum gun.

I have a 24 pack of Aldi toilet rolls, looking to swap for a 4 bedroom house in Kensington.
 
Give it Conte 'til the end of the season.


Edit: Also howling at Trumps tweets. Waffling on about Bernie Sanders being fucking robbed and oil prices.

Regarding hospital equiptment/response, ventilators will be in most demand, so i read from medical staff. The UK ICU's already run at roughly 90% occupancy during regular demand with a very limited ability to build more in a time scale we would need should it explode here. The protocol for amplified ICU care such as needed with this virus also provides it's own issues. You need more protective gear all round including individual isolation per infected person and more staff, for example to check your gear before you enter the quarantined icu areas you need a buddy to check you, much like a fighter pilot has his co-pilot check his gear is all linked up properly. The resources needed cripple fast action for fear of endangering/infecting more people.

Every single step to fight this virus bogs responders and medical personel down. It must be desperately frustrating stopping every 2 steps to decontaminate yourself and such when you can see your work load piling up in real time in front of your eyes with the result of slowing down to do this being the possible deaths of your patients. I can't imagine how stressful that must be to a medical professional on the front line.

That's essentially how biological weapons work militarily - an ill person chews up much more man power and resources than a dead one.

Rubbish.

10m X 1% = 100k.

10x more deadly (1% mortality Vs 0.1%) and 10m infections, if we can control it. More if we cannot.

That you cannot grasp this, says a lot.

Mate, if disease A kills 100 people and disease B kills 10 people in simple terms you could say disease A is 10 times more deadly than B . That's all I'm saying. Forget about mitigation measures as I simply asked to many you thought this awful virus would kill. That was all. Anyway best leave it there, thanks for the debate and for not swearing at me. Have a good evening. I've got to try and lose some weight on my new excercise bike. Arghhhhh

The panic buying only goes to suggest that perhaps a virus that could wipe out a chunk of the population isn’t an entirely bad thing. Why is toilet roll the top coveted item? It may as well be tooth paste for all the sense it makes. I look forward to seeing masses of people in lockdown on their bog roll thrones starving and dehydrated in a few weeks time.

My local Iceland today has bog roll on offer right in the doorway - I pointed out that this was madness as it was open to easy theft and in any event as bum fodder is now currency they needed to move it deeper into the store and pile stuff in the doorway nobody wants...................like bags of cash. You can't wipe your arse on 50p pieces.....

Also one prick on the radio said the silver lining of the price of oil tanking is cheaper petrol all summer..................given the govts strategy is to put the major outbreak off until summer we will all be self isolating but have a car with a tankfull of cheap petrol on the drive that we can't fucking use !!
