What on Earth is going on with people?!?

I don't get it! Why are people panic-buying pasta, toilet roll and cleaning products?!?

Coronavirus doesn't even cause diarrhoea! What on earth are people doing? I went today just to get a few bits and it's been ravaged!

I seriously don't get it! What's the logic behind this?!?

People are worried that the deliveries to shops will be affected driven by the mass media panic

You have to panic buy to compete with the panic buyers. Or you won't have any pasta or bog roll.

Supermarket systems order automatically based on average weekly sales, so when suddenly everyone buys more then it takes a while for the system to replenish and calculate how much should be ordered. So I see this as a short term issue....hopefully lol

I have 6 toilet rolls left and a bag of pasta. If the toilet roll runs out, I'll use a cloth and warm water or something! If pasta runs out, I'll eat bread!

TP is an essential that no one wants to have to do without and dried pasta lasts a long time in your cupboard, perfect for the apocalypse.

I’m assuming its to blow their nose with?

Because if you’re like me, everytime you pass a toilet roll, you take a bit with you in case you get a runny nose. I don’t do hankies.

People are terrified of being quarantined & bog roll is probably something that would run out fastest? Either that or nobody can get proper tissues to catch their corona cough droplets in?

Be a folder & not a scruncher, then a roll lasts longer & goes further!

Ahhhhhhhh, that actually makes sense now! Because it gives cold-like symptoms. Surely that's why. And pasta incase the UK shuts down for 6 months or something?

Tinned baked beans are a popular panic buy item hence the rush on loo rolls.

Greta's not going to be happy with all that bean fart in the atmosphere too.

That'll be the next crisis.

The irony, pasta being an Italian food and it's the hardest hit country in Europe.

I wonder. Are the Mexicans trying to build a wall to stop escaping infected Americans?

All the pasta will bung you up, so you'll use less toilet roll....always a silver lining

Given how fast it is spreading, and italy now having 1/4 of its population on lockdown, it is very realistic that could happen here.

Italy will be on lockdown for nearly 2 months.

That is a long time to make things in your house last should shop workers not decide to open or cant go to work.

So pasta because it lasts a long time and is filling.

Loo roll, because lets face it, nobody wants to go without it, and hand gels for obvious reasons.

Food, hygeine and sanitry products, a basic modern human neccessity now.

Funniest thing I heard yesterday while shopping In Tesco was a bloke who turned to his wife with a look of horror on his face saying “oh shit! They’ve run out of mayonnaise what will we do?” His wife turns and says “Oh for fuck sake you’re not going to die without mayonnaise, but they’ve run out of tomato passata!

The supply chain is fine but working at its usual pace. Who would have considered that half the country would go crazy for loo roll and pasta? Stocks will be replenished and higher orders will be made. The stuff doesn't just magically appear in the shelves it has to be made and packed and shipped and sorted.

It's true! I'm not allowed any pasta now because some selfish woman across the road bought 20 packets!

She's clearly way more important than everyone else.

As for wiping, I'll just have to have a fortnight off from wiping my bum.

Newspapers are losing sales in huge numbers to the internet and needed a blockbuster event to try and win back readers - Along came Covid19 - Coronavirus.

Have seen headlines such as "50.000 deaths a week" " Burials at sea as Crematoria would be unable to cope" and so it goes on, Th Press have a lot to answer for.

2020 Covid 19

Never have I seen any of the above spread this fast and cause as much isolation as is happening now.

Newspapers are losing sales in huge numbers to the internet and needed a blockbuster event to try and win back readers - Along came Covid19 - Coronavirus.

Have seen headlines such as "50.000 deaths a week" " Burials at sea as Crematoria would be unable to cope" and so it goes on, Th Press have a lot to answer for."

Exactly this. While the virus itself is certainly cause for concern, you just have to look at media stories and headlines to see the manipulation and twisting of stories to suit their own means.

Same they're all absolute melts, it's an I'm alright Jack attitude. What about the oldies who can't get out to buy things as often, grates on me how selfish people can be.

Wow, that's a lot of precision! People die in thousands now?

"I heard on MyGramTwitBook that The Government is planning on digging a massive pit and bringing in bulldozers to bury the poor, shitty-arsed individuals who died in the great pasta famine of 2020."

Don't be saying that! People will start panic buying coffins next!

I do think some of the panic and hoarding is justified though. Due to the terrible events in Italy, pasta may indeed become scarce. Even if the spaghetti and farfalle crops are harvested, exporting the crop will be impossible with closed boarders.

"Panic.

I’m panicking now because i haven’t been panic buying!

You have to panic buy to compete with the panic buyers. Or you won't have any pasta or bog roll.

I have 6 toilet rolls left and a bag of pasta. If the toilet roll runs out, I'll use a cloth and warm water or something! If pasta runs out, I'll eat bread!

Your Chester's answer to Bear Grylls!"

More like Marie Antoinette

Or perhaps they're hoping to increase the sales of newspapers as an alternative to the out of stock toilet paper! It's all most of them are good for anyway.
