How can you possibly state "And human beings are supposed to be a higher species!" when human beings are the ONLY animal species actively engaged in destroying their ONLY environment for their own selfish greed.
Their only life support system.
Human beings are but just another species of animal. Different perhaps but certainly not "higher".

I figure the toilet rolls are destined for use in air filters in homemade face masks, given the whole rolls make excellent oil filters. I mean some of the stockpiling would last a hundred years, even with severe liquid dysentery? But make millions as the production of, toilet roll filter, face masks are ramped up?

Coronavirus will hit us harder during our winter when folk shut all their windows and heat their domiciles. Viruses don't survive long in the cold or exposed to the UV of full sunlight!

So, remember to keep enough widow open to thoroughly cross ventilate and beat the cold by rugging up or find a sunny spot to warm up in. Wear a hat and long sleeves/long pants etc. Get warm that way out in the fresh air.

Wipe surfaces with an alcohol wipe, that have been touched by hands that have touched other hands or surfaces touched by many hands. Could include your phone and the inside of your car, steering wheel, gear lever etc, but particularly if the vehicle has multiple drivers.

Keep your hands behind your back and locked together, if you are a face toucher!

It seems to me, the sudden and huge number of fatalities to this disease in Italy, may have something to do with the northern winter and unventilated, heated domiciles?

As for us? Time o bring in spacing in public places, essential rallying/meeting points, so much of what we watch is televised and most face to face meetings can be teleconferenced, at least until an effective vaccine becomes available.

In the meantime, our economy would be supported and grow if we just lift our self imposed, absurdly asinine, prohibition on nuclear energy! And with it, huge swathes of nuclear medicine!

This one measure could unlock trillions of investment dollars and R+D here! And you don't need a PhD in economics to understand just that!

Well I've got 60 rolls, 4 boxes of tissues and a pk of strategic wipees in my pandemic pantry.
Enough to keep me going for a year, so I don't give a crap;
- Or maybe I do that's the point!

Dear Ttbn,

«it could deliver almost everything the climate alarmists have been asking for, with severe reductions in, or restraints on fossil fuels, air travel, shipping, automobiles, livestock, plastics and in fact the whole spectrum of capitalist and consumerist activity.»

None of that would satisfy them because what they really want is your sympathy. Please understand that their wish that you reduce or eliminate the above list is only symbolic: once they have you around their own campfire, it would not matter how high the flames are.

Woolworths' policy regarding the sale and returns of fast moving consumer goods needs to be revised as it is clearly flawed.

The supermarket is limiting purchases of toilet paper to 4. But that isn't 4 ROLLS it is 4 PACKAGES. Some packages have 8 rolls and some have up to 36. How equitable is a policy that allows one shopper to buy say 8x4, being 32 rolls, while another can walk out with 4x36 or 144 rolls?

Also the edict that no returns for change of mind purchases needs to be upended as it only benefits Woolworths' and its suppliers, as it inconveniences panic stricken shoppers who want to return over-bought goods, which could be then sold to those folk who really need those consumables.

Dear Yuyutsu,

Apparently Morrison says no need to act on Covid-19 as Australia only contributes 1% of infections.

When challenged on it he was said to have retorted "I don't hold a stethoscope mate".

Also I've read the Australian has reported "We’ve always had viruses in Australia so this is nothing to be worried about. Also we also need to have a conversation about the fact that the majority of the infections are deliberately spread by ‘viral arsonists’!"
