Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

The cars queuing at the Petrol stations on the way home an hour ago . They're staying open .

Pack mentality or just dumb. Probably means the same thing.

Dropping off orders from our online business at the local FarmSource store (NZ Couriers agent) earlier this arvo. The place was humming with locals stocking up on farm supplies including one character who was there in his classic rag-top Morgan and drove off with a big sack of dog biscuits laid across the bonnet (cabin full?). Shame I didn't have my phone on me for a photo of it

Yeah I worked at Farm supply place today, the place was off the chain busy. Lady singled out one regular who was there had bought 1 more of everything he usually bought, it's one of those 1000 cuts things and not just the hoarders that are causing the issues though.

Hoarders are fucked in the head though

Yes, the end of times. Sat at a junction earlier watching a swarm of folk at the grog shop across the road, I watched a woman try to unlock her car whilst holding at least 6 big bottles of vodka. I estimate she dropped 3 of them... I lolled.

benefit of the doubt: cheap vodka is available and is the same % alcohol as hand sanitiser which is out of stock everywhere.

So from Wednesday we are told to stay home..but are told supermarkets and petrol stations will still be running for us. So does that mean we DON'T have to stay at home..else how can we do the supermarket shop and topup the bike with petrol?

There's a funny thing called common sense. It might help to use it.

Most of what you will need to know will likely be on the Covid 19 website e.g.

Think the important words were "don't go out unnecessarily". So, if you need food or petrol, then go top up when you need to. But avoid panic buying.

Authorities are simply asking that you limit trips out. If you're cooped up at home (even if self-isolating), that doesn't mean you can't get food and petrol (just seek to maintain the 2 metre distance when doing so). Same goes for a walk in the nearest park or to take the dog for a walk.

Wife got 1 bottle of Jim Beam...

That's my usual weekly allowance, even in Soviet Russia they never had to ration vodka!

In all seriousness stay safe KBers, stay at home if you don't need to go anywhere, if you need to go somewhere go to a big open space like a beach and stay the fuck away from anyone you aren't isolating with. Be extra careful at the supermarket etc. We can stomp this bitch out in 4 weeks if we are smart.
