Me getting on the bus pretending to cough and sneeze just to see the look on old peoples faces.

Local unnivesity had an outdoor party.

Plenty of food in the stores just no toilet paper.

The wife finally understanding why I always stocked food and supplies which she used to call paranoia.

That's like pointing a gun in their face.
I hope you are joking.

We too are always well stocked as required by NZ civil defence recommendations.
But the poorest in society are living hand to mouth so spare a thought?

I think the government should be stocking food just incase this doesn't go away with warm weather next month.
Then the poor and hungry can pick up or have delivered a pre packaged survival kit with the basics for survival.

They should already have warehouses set up for this scenario but they don't.

Forever foods that don't go bad like pasta, rice, sugar and salt, canned goods
Etc etc could easily be stored rapidly and if not needed it won't go bad so no waste.

No cost to those that need it.

<smiles> Ahh. Great-big-Stees told me about that. A 1989 game.
It'll happen all over, eventually. Canada has just taken the lead.

The word “over” comes to mind. How is it we are tanking the world economy for less than 10,000 deaths!!
