I hope not, I'll have to feed them people, otherwise they might eat us.

A city farm nearish to me has reported people are stealing loo roll from the toilets. Last few days 80 have gone and not happy with that folk are also taking the hand gel. It's a charity FFS it's now having to spend even more money on stuff which it can do with out.
Bottles of hand gel are also going missing at a hospital in a neighbouring area. Get a grip people and stop being so selfish it's not a time for a'm alright Jack.

Been trawling around on Twitter as I'm trying to get a handle on what we might be facing over the coming weeks
Some really interesting info on age splits of CV cases by country and impact on mortality rates.
In Germany nearly 90% of cases are less than 60years old. But in Italy only 40% are less than 60years old (from Robert Koch Institute). Looking at typical mortality by age group that explains why Italy is running at >6% but Germany is almost zero
Question is why the difference in ages?
My guess: Germans contracted it in Italy. Mainly people of working age skiing, business etc. It got into the Italian OAP network too and they passed it to each other. Germans go home and largely interact with people also of working age
So what about UK? I guess ours originate in Italy too. But like Germany its people of working age, hence low mortality compared to Italy.
Lesson? Protect the old, vulnerable from infection if we don't want to be overwhelmed like Italy

I think the older generation in Italy is a key part of family life, so mix with the younger adults more, hence the mortality rates. I'll be keeping my distance from my mum and dad as I'm likely to get it at some point given where I work.
I believe we've had a case in a Care Home, which isn't surprising, but could be very bad news.

If there's no bog roll, we'll ALL be "cycling up Winnats Pass". And Tagnut Pike. And Dangleberry Chimney.

You've got to be really careful with stats like that as the proportion will depend on the testing strategy.
I read earlier in the outbreak that one of the reasons Germany numbers were so low was because they were hardly testing anyone.
The criteria applied to choose who to test will make a big difference to the distribution of those who test positive.

UK numbers will leap soon because the NHS is increasing the number of tests massively: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51814874
This makes it hard to estimate the true exponential growth rate here. It looks like a doubling about every three days but that could change. Italy is seeing a doubling about every 2 days.

Just been to mine, didn't look down the loo roll isle but the rest of the store was decimated in places but then it always is, never known a shop constantly so badly stocked so it's difficult to say whether parts are due to panic buying or simply Sainsbury's own incompetence, I presume the latter in the case of frozen mash. A trip there is more in hope than expectation.
