Thread: Corona Virus

Just got the updated Road Report.
Tourist season might be a bit of a Fizzer I think.

First time I have had a Road Report that looks like that.

I've been supportive of all the restrictive measures so far, but this one is definitely not working.
What would I know, but maybe fresh deliveries could happen very early morning, make sure the shelves are full, then the oldies can shop for an hour properly. Maybe an orderly by date,on line ordering & delivery system could be set up, surely the stores could absorb the cost, they'd be one of the very few that are making big dollars at the moment. An on line ordering system would have its ordering item "limits" too, so that the greedy "people" would be "squashed".

Just noticed that there is a store in the UK that has two selections of boxed necessities which you can order on line, you can order two boxes, you can track your order, & delivery is said to be the next day. I reckon something like that could work?

Update .
No toilet paper at ALDI Green Point.

I wrote a facebook message to Coles suggesting that a management member walk the line and tell the oldies whether they have stuff and also brief the checkout persons .

Surely in this GPS day and age they could organise to know and publish the expected availability time for a load.

My wife was told at Coles which she went to at about 10AM that the pallet of toilet paper had arrived at 7.45 and was gone immediately.

So 50 or so oldies waited about 1 hour in a tight queue . Not good for virus transmission.

I also wrote to the PM pointing out that here were the most vulnerable people in the community waiting in a queue, along with a photo.

Great stuff for doing that Philip, let us hope the PM & Coles follow through on your suggestions asap..

Just watched Border Force get themselves out of the Poo with their excellent response by their Guvnor & while he said, "I''M NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF APPORTIONING BLAME yada yada yada" he certainly did a thorough job of doing that & dumped on NSW Health for the cockup in Sydney Harbour.

Somehow the Dept of Ag was also involved with testing samples.


We did wonder who ****ed up didn't we.

In Rule 1 for the forum it says "Forum trolling - the intentional provoking of other forum users - is also forbidden." doesn't seem to be applied to many people on the Forum.

I used that option quite some time ago, now I just see "Eevo is on your ignore list" - whenever he comments, well , its a list of one...
Now I just get a giggle at his every post.. You should try it.

The toilet paper thing and general hoarding is bloody insanity.
People must have their garages packed to the rafters with the stuff.

Eeeerrrrr, not on mine he's not, DJ

Dan Andrews Says in Vic Stage 3 restrictions are inevitable but hasn't said when, being honest and saying that fuels even more panic for the hoarders'
