I'm nearly safe as we has approx 70 rolls. Also approx 40 cakes of soap.
Toilet paper is 4 ply & all were bought when on special late last year.
To supplement also have over 30 dozen cartons of wine plus an oak cask full of old tokay..

How so? I had the worst flu season last winter but never had to spend anymore time on the throne than normal. About a month ago on the other hand had a bad bout of gastro and dry reaching, that was a different story. Ended up in hospital for about 6 hours.

You sound like borderline doomsday prepper LS. FMD I reckon you probably got a bunker under the house lined with 2 feet thick concrete walls. Imperial Leather LS? Tahiti looks nice!!

DD if the hospital staff get sick through working extras, overtime, back to back shifts, get sick themselves through dealing with the overload of these viral patients, then whose gonna look after the good folk like yourself for that 6 hour stay you had?...as a health professional for 30 years, working at the coal face in A&E and ICU in Oz, UK, USA and NZ , these departments are more often then not run on there bare bones staff wise, to save the big wigs a few dollars to spend on bullshit elsewhere....under staffing and large work loads will see staff burn out through fatigue and fall sick themselves by being run down...thus my meaning no staff or unwell or burn out staff to care for these patients, means the "shit will hit the fan" for those patients presenting with their illnesses...thus the need for their toilet rolls...

I for one am dreading the winter here in NZ, especially if the corona virus kicks in as it's expected too....on top of the normal flu season prima donas with their coughs, colds, sore throats and fevers....

I'd be interested to know where you're going to get the extra staff from freez to avoid burning out existing health professionals.

Well if you're a medic I hope you act like a prima dona and stay away from your patients and work colleagues when you've got man flu Freezin.

Loved the story on the news last night where a local bloke who is a doomsday preper was loading up his 8 ton truck ready for when the schools shut down (which apparently is inevitable) and is his signal to get the phark outa Dodge and head to his "secret spot" down south where he will be safe while the rest of world falls into post apocolyptic chaos.

DD...I see enough prima donas with man flu to know not how or want to act like one...already we are inundated with people who think they have the corona virus....two classics were the fella who received a parcel from China and thought he would get it and the tourist who stayed in an airnb where a Chinese couple had stayed 3 nights prior....even bought in the airnb room register to validate his concerns....common sense certainly goes out the door when people think they are unwell, but hey keeps folk like me in a profession, so I shouldn't be taking the piss I guess.

It wont be long until everyone buys condoms as the next panic item and wears them on their fingers to stop the spread of the disease.....
