    Seriously? WTF is wrong with people!!!

    A virus breaks out affecting 106000 of the billions in the world, first thought "Have to be able to wipe my arse comfortably if the shops all close"

    I give up with humanity!!

    And tea bags by the looks of it, I was in the local Lidl and all the Brits have bought out all the English tea. I've got no tea and I just can't make coffee at home I just cant get it right.

    I don’t get it. It’s a respiratory disease. It affects our windpipe not our fartpipe. I don’t understand the toilet paper thing.

    What is annoying me is reading all the stories of people with ineffective immune systems, like kids with cancer, who are now unable to buy their daily sanitisers because of folk emptying the shelves. Idiots.

    There's is enough for everybody if people just take what they would normally need, ****ing hoarders emptying shelves of the most basic of things. I will admit I bought a few more tins this week and a couple of packets of pasta but I didn't fill the bloody trolley.

    Absolutely! It is a high risk to those that you mention - yet the amount of "average joes" who will have bought this stuff up to make sure they're OK is a joke! If I get it, I'm fit and healthy and my immune system is good, there's the smallest of chances it'll kill me but I'm more likely (as anyone is) to die in a car crash or getting knocked over when I'm out running tonight! But I'll but 7000 toilet rolls and 400 packs of hand gel to make sure I'm OK - screw everyone else that actually needs it!!

    I buy my loo roll from Coscto - 45 decent rolls for £14. Can't get any today as it all sold out on Saturday before they put the limit on people buying it. My father in law has a very low immune system and his wife is recovering from brreast cancer - can we hell get them any of the stuff they need!

    Bog Roll Bandits ? I have often seen "entrepreneurs" stripping supermarket shelves, no doubt to sell on, making a slight profit out of the less fortunate.

    I blame the media for whipping people into a panic over nowt.
    Why dont they start their news bulletin with the numbers that have fully recovered instead of the one person who has died.
    Hate the media me like.

    I haven't got any hand sanitiser.

    I'm immunocompromised and my job involves mingling with the general public all day every day. Ah well, it's been nice knowing you all :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The toilet roll thing apparently came about as some idiot on Faecesbook said there would be a toilet paper shortage. Well after panic buying of it by imbeciles there actually is now. Faecesbook OP is probably posting "Told you so" as we speak. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    If we didn’t already know , this proves just how self centred, selfish , uncaring and arrogant that so many of the British population has become .

    I understand why they’re buying loads of it. I still think it’s stupid though.

    Can I have your season card? I've got plenty of alcohol to sanitise it with so you don't have to worry about contaminating me!
