Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Just realised that if I’m in self quarantine I don’t need bog roll, I can shower after every shit.

Maybe I need to hoard water?

I really want to read these threads... Are they really worth it?

I’d just break the isolation if I ran out of something.

I say get this thing spread and trim the number of baby boomers rattling round in massive houses. This could destroy the Tory vote.

Makes u think... just missed Brexit.

Unless the UK impose marshal law and curfews, I can’t see people self isolating.. the frenzy panic for toilet paper in and around London is quite frankly laughable.. there are several stacks of unread metro’s at East Ham tube Station every evening finally being put to something useful

Both Fortune Magazine and The New York Post confirmed in May of 2016
that Trump listed investments in V.F. Corp. and Thermo Fisher

conflict of interest to use a company that he stands to profit from to
conduct coronavirus testing.

I wonder if kitchen roll is in short supply too? That could do a job in an emergency.

Don't use wet wipes for floors that contain bleach. Trust me.

Argos order slips. :Taps nose:

Single ply. Just spreads it around.

Betting slips are the same. So I have heard

As long as you don't flush them

So this thread starts out with fears about global extinction and, in 64 short pages, finds itself discussing theoretical worries about bowel movements.

The forum may be 13 years old but in many ways it doesn’t age.

How about the Roman option of a sponge on a stick?

Fraught with hazards. The sponge just gets stuck up there if you're not careful.

Early estimates suggest that Mulan’s US opening weekend may still
manage a $90m take, with some crediting coronavirus’s reportedly less
dramatic impact on children as one reason that family films may not
suffer as much as their adult counterparts.

Box office analysis can be a brutal.

Those of us in a time zone slightly ahead of yours discussed that on page 9 of this very thread.

By slightly ahead I mean one month.

What is it like in Hong Kong? Have you continued as normal?

Argos Catalogues

Still virtually shut, ballet/opera is shut, no museums, art galleries or theme parks. Lots of people working from home. Some companies operating split locations so if one site goes down and all staff get quarantined they can still function from the other

No food shortages, plenty of bog roll, hand sanitiser and soap starting to reappear on the shelves.
