The Conversation has nothing to do with government. Founding Partners

Without the support of Founding Partners The Conversation would not have started. So it’s hats off to CSIRO, University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Technology Sydney, and University of Western Australia who saw the value of helping us develop a new independent information channel that would also showcase the talent and knowledge of the university and research sector

I've just rumbled it!

C-19 was deliberately started by the Toilet Paper manufacturers because they knew Human Nature would create a panic rush on their products.
Well, I reckon it is as good as all the other theories that are bouncing around.[biggrin] [biggrin] [biggrin]

If you believe that **** you'll believe anything.

like most people I ask myself " why toilet paper " Here is an attempt to provide a rational answer.

Why are people stockpiling toilet paper? We asked four experts

My attempt at an explanation, if asked, would be along the lines:
" A characteristic of today's populace, with Ovine like behavioural patterns, brought on by exaggerated press media reports, social media misinformation and a total absence of common sense."

Snowball effect i guess.
If you notice something is being purchased on mass and its something you use then its a case of get in before there gone.
I have a whole heap of poopers in my house on any given day so need quite a lot of the soft stuff. 12 rolls a week is not uncommon.

Be a messy place if we cant get dunny roll so if wifey sees dunny roll she is buying it up like everyone else............

Me like i have already said, if im gunna stockpile anything it will be beer. Yet surprisingly there is no heavy demand for that yet.

At any one time we have at least 6 months supply on hand of meat, tinned veggies, dry goods and toiletries .
The Only things I would consider "Stockpiling" is fuel, beer and ciggies in the case of a SHTF situation. [biggrin][thumbsupbig]
Dunny rolls are pretty low on my list of absolute necessities .

Just to add a bit of levity to the discussion.
