My guess is that some, if not all, states will be closing their schools within the next fortnight.

I have to go out tomorrow to get some thing fixed in my car tomorrow to get a warrant, so much for self isolation, I have to eat.

All very well to tell people over 70 to self isolate, what about the ones that have no body to go to the shops for them

You have to go to the doctors and chemist.

No bread at the shops today and no Flour

I managed to get bread and rolls at bakery

We have one case of the Virus here in Tauranga

I visited my local Woolworths this morning and it was quite busy. It was virtually impossible to keep 1.5M away from others. I tried but several other people didn't. Some seemed far more interested in recklessly dashing around the store to get what they wanted rather than taking precautions to protect themselves. I guess a lot will be left to fate.

My local supermarket is limiting bread to one loaf per day, we dont eat much bread, so have 1/2 loaf in fridge and ONE loaf in our ONE freezer.

One of my sons mates is a baker at Coles. For the past few days they have scrapped baking anything but bread. He has been working extra shifts and longer shifts, just baking bread, nothing else.

So you mean to tell me no one is making donuts.
