    The usual panic buying began but our supermarkets stepped in and put limits on every thing.

    But toilet paper, why the panic to buy this?
    Then of curse it came to me, this state gov of ours gives everyone the back yard trots.

    Keith Runcimans of London who had the paper boats don’t get down here anymore. Maybe the dockers who demanded embarrassment money for having to handle, may have have had something to do with it but I doubt it. I know according to the media they did for handling toilet bowls , so luckily think we now produce our own, as don’t fancy doing it Japanese style or any other oriental country for that matter. The ones hoarding toilet rolls have a fixation on them and they probably hadn’t seen one before coming to this country who knows . Cheers JS

    Well as another side issue to all of this.
    Went to the supermarket but of course until midnight we are still in lock down and the supermarkets have put limits on some goods to prevent panic buying.
    Picked up two loaves of bread and a packet of four Croisants.
    At the check out told only allowed two bread items so left the Croisants.
    Then aftyre putting the shopping in the trunk of the car went back and bought the Croisants.

    Stupidity is something our Gov does not understand.

    Trump's hold on Republican Party on display as conservatives gather
    Swiatek into Adelaide International final

    The world has seen a whole series of very important authorities provide “intentional or unintentional” false and misleading information since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, according to writer at The Spectator David Adler.

    World authorities have provided ‘false and misleading information’ on COVID-19
    “Mid-January at the beginning of the pandemic, we had arguably the most important international body – the World Health Organisation – echo the propaganda from China that there was no human to human transmission,” Mr Adler told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

    “This is critical, they did it at the beginning and they may well have encouraged certain countries to delay the implementation of measures that could have contained or restricted the spread.”

    Mr Adler said whistleblowers and doctors in China have been “pulled aside” and “disciplined”, while others simply disappeared.

    “This is out of 1984, George Orwell would be rolling over saying ‘I warned you about this stuff, now it’s happening’,” he said.

    “People have seen lots of false promises, lots of false information from organisations that they should be able to trust, and that’s undermined the public confidence.”
