What these idiots don't realise when they steal it from a hospital, the nurses and doctors need the product, especially if they are inserting tubes such as breathing apparatus into people, because the slightest infection off their hands, will be carried into the body.

And the visitors who are coming to see ill relatives, who are urged to hand sanitise before entering the wards, to protect the patients.

But yeah, **** ‘em, I’m going to nick some so I can sort myself out, and I might lift a few more and flog them on eBay for £65 a pop (yes that’s also an actual thing)

Trump currently giving a speech about the virus. He said some companies won’t do well out of it but others will.

Ok, maybe they make some, but the country isn't self-sufficient.

We make plenty of it. What we don’t have are the prime raw materials for making it i.e. the bulk rolls of paper and we don’t make the cardboard tubes either, so we import both.

Not according to this (I had checked earlier after I posted <laugh>)

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/brexit-toilet-paper-shortage

According to the Confederation of Paper Industries, 1.3 million tonnes of tissue is used in the UK every year, with 1.1 million of it being imported into the UK. Statistics from the Consumer Market Outlook says that one Brit goes through an estimated 127 rolls of toilet roll every year, making the UK the third biggest consumer of toilet paper in the world. And Mintel’s Household Paper Products report, published this year, also found that Brits spent a massive £1.1 million on toilet paper in 2018 alone.

I remember reading that it was one of the risks of no-deal Brexit. Fresh food would be prioritised over things like toilet paper. Was an early entrepreneurial idea <laugh>
 
I thought I saw something said about people were avoiding chinese food. Well apart from that being daft, what's even dafter is they then went and bought all the Italian pasta off the supermarket shelves instead...hmmm, now how does that figure?

I doubt all the pasta sold in the UK is made in Italy...
