Unfortunately because of the media fed hysteria, the number of people with a tickly cough or slightly drier than normal cough presenting for testing has greatly affected statistics.

It’ll be the same people who are currently waiting for the delivery trucks to buy all the big roll......muppets!!

I was wondering that as well.

Australian shops are reporting shortages of sanitary products as well.....the dumb fcukers must be sticking tampons up their nose or something as there are no masks left!!!

I think a fear of running out of it has prompted a 'run' on the stuff...plus a few other household items...and you end up with the shortage anyway.
What's so wrong with people having a Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve....?? :D

I've just been watching a video of people wrestling over a jumbo-pack of two-ply in a Wal-Mart somewhere. It was frickin' epic!!

Coronavirus.
Statistically you're more likely to get hit by a bus or tackled by a Tottenham player. (tmi) :D

Had to google to find out what you meant there and found a hilarious forum thread about a biker who got his dates wrong for the procedure and had to do the prep twice (lol)

And answer to your question is no, similar though, mines called ‘Moviprep’

Speaking to one of our medical experts today - she reckons a 7 day shut down would stop it. That's what they've done in a few countries.

I'm guessing the cost to business is the main reason they're not going to do that.

I’m not sure it’s something you can stop in reality. You only ever need one carrier to start it all over again.

In any case, how many people would or even could, isolate themselves for 7 days.

The 1918 flu epidemic lasted for three years according to many reports.
