  3. Or you can take the Freudian view of the world https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/03/30/what-would-freud-make-of-the-toilet-paper-panic "Because your Facebook feed leads you to believe that it’s a commodity more precious than gold. Because you use the cardboard tubes for crafting. Because you like to wet it and then hurl it in a wad at annoying people in your coronavirus bunker. The possible explanations for toilet-paper hoarding are myriad. Unlike hand sanitizer and test kits, toilet paper is not a commodity subject to in

  4. https://www.abc.net.au/life/coronavirus-covid-19-why-is-everyone-buying-toilet-paper/12024738 Human nature can be quite predictable. I think the main driver is confirmation bias. People were caught out last time and despite all the reassurances that there would be plenty of supply, those that didn't stock up went short. They see other people panic buying and they see shortages = there is a shortage and you need to panic buy. Its a vicious feedback loop

  5. I can't believe the panic buying that goes on, as soon as there a sign of covid-19 virus all hell let's loose in the super markets. We had it on 7news here the day of the new outbreak in SA and people were buying up on toilet paper straight away, empty shelves in no time at all.. What's wrong with just doing a normal shop, I haven't heard that the virus gives you the "trots/runs" so what's with this toilet paper epidemic.. Stay safe there everyone, thinking of you all.. take care.. and let's hope they get on top of it ASAP like they did before.. cheers Adrian

  8. With 4 deaths in South Australia in 11 months, I think you would be very very very unlucky to die from it. The people stockpiling for the apocalypse weren't at the shops today, they were at home having a beer

    SA -Going into lock down

    Are the masses that are flocking to the shops unnecessarily in blind panic realise that now is the worst time to be in places with high densities of people in terms of coming into contact with this virus? The behaviour of many people at the moment is a disgrace.

  10. Just quietly, the people flocking to stores now is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. All these people flooding the stores when it is clear that supermarkets will still be open during lockdown; why? The people then crowd and cause chaos, potentially spreading it even more. Just wear a face covering and go during the lockdown people, it's all good. Be efficient and plan things well and it'll be fine. I'd understand shops that will be locked down such as Bottle shops even more so, but man, this is a great way to spread a virus, by cramming into tight
