I think maybe many people have been considering how long quarantine has been in Wuhan and so are over time stockpiling if similar happens here - the thinking likely  is that if such long time quarantine does not eventuate - what does it matter ? , the long life food and consumables would have been used anyhow 

Of course to bad about those who have been left lacking.

However i have been surprised of the legal looting - such a large proprtion of society already lives a life style not far different from that of quaratine ....

empathy

Nobody in Wuhan was left starving, or even hungry. They put in their order and the food was delivered to their door and left outside.

People don't need to hoard six months or a year's worth of supplies. I almost wish some would be confined to their homes until they've used all the stuff they've bought.

Brer, didn't the Government do that for them.
We live in a capatilist society.
The Government isn't going to feed us, not that I'm justifying what people are doing

[brerrabbit585]

I have no idea who organised it. In Italy people are allowed to go to the supermarkets so I'd imagine it'd be the same here if we went into lockdown (as many doctors are begging the govt to do). I just hope I'd never be forced to shop at the local supermarket.

How about 77 years old.

There are a lot of 70+ year olds who do not have government cards of any description but they still need to access the shops.

If age is going to be a criteria then accept any legitimate proof of age document otherwise it is discrimination.

And what about helper shoppers , those younger who have been tasked to shop for the elder person.

They can fend for themselves in the aisles.

Older weaker people are being pushed aside by the panic merchants.

---

Not easy to do if they are also trying to look after the person they are caring for as well

---

Aw c'mon.  I was thinking along the lines of someone who was doing the shopping for the elderly person left at home.

But you knew that.

I think a lot of it, stawks, is that people with no idea think they have an idea.

[imastawka]

Say what?

I have no idea what you mean, Dave.

[davewil1964]

You demonstrably do. Others don't seem to.

i thought maybe wollies would be a little better today

but no, much worse

all tined meals gone

all noodles gone

all bread gone

all hand cleaner of any sort, soap included, gone

all frozen vegtables gone from the huge chests

oh, and no toot paper

the restrictions are really working

but dont worry

The PM Scomo said this morning to

JUST STOP IT! (about hoarding)

so everyone will stop now.

[imastawka]

I've just managed to put in an on-line order with Woolies.

They say they will try to fill it, but there may be some out of stock items....really?  

I've been ordering for years, so I got 'exclusive access' apparently.  (or did I?)

Only problem I had, was I ordered 2 differnt pastas.  They made me take one out.

Delivery is not until next Monday, (I'm away for the w/end) so we'll see what happens.
