I think the whole thing is just a publicity stunt by Greta Thunberg and the green lot.

Think...

What will get us to not want to get on a plane and to stay home for two weeks and not drive our cars.  :shrug:

Can't beat a bit of scaremongering. If profits are down, get people to do a bit of panic buying.

I'm going to buy shares in GlaxoSmithKline.... obviously an antidote will be found and the pharmaceutical companies will make a fortune.

I'm going to get a case of Corona. I believe that is 12 bottles. I may get two cases if it's on offer as my contribution to panic buying. Fight fire with fire sounds like a plan!

Sorry TP but "Corona" was sold to Beechams and then to Britvic and hasn't been sold since the 1990's. However, none of that explains why peopla are panic buying toilet paper as Corvid-19 does not cause diarrhoea.

I know this should be in the really bad jokes section but...........
A man has just been taken into hospital because he can't stop singing Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby songs.................
He's been diagnosed with crooner virus.

A retired breakfast tester from Derby was admitted to hospital suffering from an inability to stop spreading really bad jokes. He has been diagnosed with groaner virus.

Toilet paper is impregnated with a disinfectant that is activated my moisture , when used as a tissue it makes your nose sore. Some people really do get a very sore nose. 
I use a good quality kitchen tissue like  "Blitz".
Meanwhile, I hope everyone on here and those they love, stay safe and well.
However, I fear that like the Spanish flu, it will circulate around the country for eighteen months until almost everyone has had it.
