What is going on??? It’s so weird what people will buy in the face of a crisis. 
When floods and cyclones are on their way, it’s bread and milk (for milk sandwiches,
of course….der!), but when there’s a major (non-gastro) virus circulating the world,
everyone’s first thought is that they will run out of bog rolls. Am I missing something
here? When you can go to your local Woolies and find the shelves bare over the fear
of what? When you can’t even buy toilet paper it would be enough to give you the
shits. From what I can tell, Coronavirus doesn’t even give you the Green Apple Scours
anyway.
