Theres a hospital grade but you don't buy that in the shops" Anything with 60% alcohol strips the outside of the virus cell and reduces its ability to be contagious, so it does work. But washing hands is still best option. | |||

"Well said OP. I confess to buying ONE extra 9pack of loo rolls other than I would normally have bought. I couldn't get any soap as it was empty so bough a cheap shower gel for a quid instead. I only wanted one bottle anyway as I keep a spare one all the time. I've simply sat the kids down & told them we don't waste anything like that, use less & make it last. Human nature at its worst at the moment; far too much "I'm alright & f*ck everyone else". It only takes a big storm & a couple of cancelled ferries for the Manx to panic buy normally so we're well used to seeing stripped shelves every winter as greedy bastards look after themselves & leave others stuck without a second thought....... " I know, it's just ridiculous. I did the same today. I said to my girls, "this next week or so, were going to cut down on the food waste. I'm going to cut the meal sizes down a fraction." Then I just explained that some people are going to shops and buying a little bit too much. Even though I've not panic bought anything, I'll happily give my food to an older or more vulnerable local person if I find one without food. Regards toilet roll, I have 6 but would wipe my arse on letters if need be. | |||

"I don't usually do rants like this, but I'm fed up of this panic buying and I'm sick of how selfish people are. My local supermarket has had areas empty for around a week because of this craziness. What people don't understand is that this virus kills older and vulnerable people! If you're one of those who is panic buying, rushing to the shops to 'protect yourself', you're most likely not vulnerable. By the time the elderly and or vulnerable ones are getting there, there's very little left, and prices are going up! So, people, please be sensible and think of those who aren't able to rush to shops like we can. There are older, more vulnerable people who truly rely on local shops for their essentials and they can't get there in a hurry. The more you panic buy, the harder their lives get, and the more vulnerable they become, so please don't be selfish! Without trying to be rude, if you're one of the ones who has bought more than you need, maybe you should go and check to see if your older neighbours have everything that they need before you squander.

Have we all stopped caring for the people over 60 that we know, because are the folk they are classing as ‘elderly’ I have two siblings both under 30, both severe asthma sufferers, if they get it they’ll probably die!

My response was to this bit of your text “it will have little effect on most of the population so why worry?” My point was I’m worried about the proportion of the population that it does affect. And worrying seems to be getting people practicing better hygiene routines. Panicking is the problem. No I don’t have a medical degree and the sarcasm was a tad uncalled for. | |||

"I did see some signs of panic buying in our wider area the other evening....90% of the soap bars had gone from the shelves at Morrison’s ...only a couple of liquid hand soaps left...by all means keep clean and disinfect, but you won’t kill the virus by buying 10 packs of soap instead of the standard 1 pack of 4 bars.... I can see why people are getting angry at people’s selfishness but, let’s face it....we are all scared at the moment...some of us more some of us less...we’re dealing with something unknown that European medicine hasn’t equipped itself yet to fight it robustly. And when you have a cunt at No 10 saying that more of us will lose our loved ones before their time.....I can see how people are scared....I just wish that people and their loved ones are safe and healthy " You’re only seeing the end result of the ‘panic buying’ which doesn’t necessarily exist.... I buy soap bars as I’m not as fussed about shower gels and liquid hand soaps as my wife buys.... if I and the 2000 other people who went through the store bought my 4 pack early, or an extra one just in case .... shelves are empty! | |||

"I once bought the most disgusting baked beans from Lidl, they were truly inedible, but I still couldn't bring myself to throw them out and waste food. So for years they sat at the back of the cupboard, unwanted, derided and scorned. I was asked why do you keep them? And I joked (kind of) that although they were revolting come the apocalypse we'd be grateful for them! I moved house a while ago and they were discarded...oh apocalypse beans, where are you now!!" apocalypse beans! | |||

"I have not panic buy. But if in the shop I brought one or two tins and put away and in 4 weeks I have about two weeks of food in a cupboard but I been slowly buying what I need.i have two soap but I got them weeks ago I have a few bars of soap and a few bog roll should last 4 weeks You bought one or two tins to save.... you don’t normally buy those and I guess the shop may have had a few thousand people come through having a tin or two more, that day.... fuck how did we get through 10000 tins of beans? We normally sell 2000..... oi mr heinz..... we need 8000 more tins of beans daily for each supermarket throughout the country.... what do you mean you can’t supply them? Our shelves will be empty . Any notion of preventing empty shelves just now is bollocks .... there’s a global change in motivation to store, .... I don’t know how everyone lives but should the time come and we have to self isolate.. we may have some pretty wacky meals from the shite that’s in our cupboards but we won’t be too hungry too soon."

"What is it with bog roll? I would appreciate an answer to this too. I keep seeing people walking away from the shops with big packs of toilet roll." I think what's happened is...someone bought loo roll, then the media told everyone that everyone was buying loo roll (they weren't) so then everyone did buy loo roll because they were terrified that there may not be any left. And that's how panic buying goes mad! | |||

"Friend posted a pic earlier at asda with a trolley filled with nearly £900 of baby milk I have friend that posted on Facebook earlier he'd tried multiple supermarkets and couldn't find any. Also a similar story with calpol. People are fucking selfish People are prepared .." Theres being prepared and there's being selfish. Last month it was all "be kind" but now society is back to its usual 'I'm alright so fuck the rest of you' mantra | |||

"I don't usually do rants like this, but I'm fed up of this panic buying and I'm sick of how selfish people are. My local supermarket has had areas empty for around a week because of this craziness. What people don't understand is that this virus kills older and vulnerable people! If you're one of those who is panic buying, rushing to the shops to 'protect yourself', you're most likely not vulnerable. By the time the elderly and or vulnerable ones are getting there, there's very little left, and prices are going up! So, people, please be sensible and think of those who aren't able to rush to shops like we can. There are older, more vulnerable people who truly rely on local shops for their essentials and they can't get there in a hurry. The more you panic buy, the harder their lives get, and the more vulnerable they become, so please don't be selfish! Without trying to be rude, if you're one of the ones who has bought more than you need, maybe you should go and check to see if your older neighbours have everything that they need before you squander. " Well said I refuse to panic buy anything, we could still be weeks away from a lockdown | |||

Last month it was all "be kind" but now society is back to its usual 'I'm alright so fuck the rest of you' mantra " I sort of disagree .... haven’t panic bought, normally shop daily, have today and there’s plenty of food, though no pasta no rice ... I bought a few days worth of meals ... probably 3 days... because I don’t want to have to go into the supermarket... less visits for me is better. I’ve changed the way I shop, not drastically, but different... for those that have bought products, maybe against the norm, are they not just being protective? Like me wanting to make less trips? Buying paracetamol when they normally wouldn’t because they may need it? Am I “prepared” fuck no .... I feel woefully inadequate in not being able to defend my family.... am I selfish... I don’t think so but give me a way to keep my family from this ... I’ll walk over you to get it ! | |||
