Despite giving assurances that the toilet paper demand can be met by manufacturers here this happens.
Can't get sugar now, rice, pasta, sugar, flour all made here but people still panic buying.
I noticed earlier in the week Coles were out of rice, but Woolworths had loads.
I put that down to the fact Coles had the 5kg bags half price this week.
We usually buy food when it on special, so tend to have a little stock pile anyhow..
The only problem this week was we were down to our last bog roll. Missus got a packet of 12 though.
When I picked up some stuff yesterday the shelves seemed pretty well stocked except toilet paper.
I work for a pathology company, so hand wash isn't a problem. We have heaps..... at the moment.
We were given an info sheet yesterday. Wash your hands a lot.
Don't touch your face, without washing your hands. Don't go around shaking hands. Avoid contact. Stand 1.5 metres apart.
Face masks aren't much good. I think that bit was a hint to the couriers in Sydney.
I've seen a few of the Asian guys wearing masks.
I've noticed in the last few days the notices on GP's surgery doors has changed.
They used to say alert our staff if you've been to China within the last 14 days, and a few other things.
Now the new notices say if you are experiences these symptoms don't come in.
Go to hospital.
Coles and Woolworths are our two major supermarkets here in Australia.
Every week they have catalogues out with special buys.
Half price baked beans or half prices pasta sauce to entice you in.
