When we get 1 inch of snow here - the supermarkets are flooded with panicked shoppers buying -
Milk Eggs Bread
Apparently French Toast comforts those here in fear of 1 inch of snow Milk, eggs, bread and gas. Everyone with 3 quarters of a tank of gas suddenly needs to get topped off as if it's going to be snowing for a week straight and they'll be out driving in it the whole time.

"A bit low on beard oil though."
Maybe that's the cure?

I saw someone wearing a virus mask for the first time today. But I read that the airborne respiratory droplets from other people's coughs and splutters can possibly molest your eyes and get in that way. There is no security The only thing a mask does is to stop your infected snot from splashing into other peoples eyes. Or maybe stop you from transferring slobber coating the train handrail, into your nose because you can't pick it. So wearing them helps for the infected who do not know do not infect others - or at least not that easily and not that many people.

What I want to know is this:- Once the panic ends and everyone accepts that the death rate is, broadly speaking, no different from the flu do we continue to give this special status? Or does it just fold in with and generally be referred to as a type of flu? Or will it simply disappear again? The death rate is significantly higher than normal flu: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/03/yes-worse-than-flu-busting-coronavirus-myths-covid-19Many individuals who get coronavirus will experience nothing worse than seasonal flu symptoms, but the overall profile of the disease, including its mortality rate, looks more serious. At the start of an outbreak the apparent mortality rate can be an overestimate if a lot of mild cases are being missed. But this week, a WHO expert suggested that this has not been the case with Covid-19. Bruce Aylward, who led an international mission to China to learn about the virus and the country’s response, said the evidence did not suggest that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. If borne out by further testing, this could mean that current estimates of a roughly 1% fatality rate are accurate. This would make Covid-19 about 10 times more deadly than seasonal flu, which is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people a year globally. The death rate on the Diamond Princess is currently 6 from ~ 700 infected from 3,700 onboard. So just under 1% death rate of those who've caught it, which amounts to ~ 19% of the total population. It's very hard to guess the numbers at large because there will be so many people have have it but the symptoms are mild and go unreported. The ship is an interesting study though because 1. they're horrible disease infested literal traps anyway (so there's a good chance anyone who could have got it did so before any quarantine measures would have made any difference) and 2. They're stuffed full of old people with underlying health issues who'd be far more likely to die from it than an average population. So in my completely ill-informed manner (😆 but hey everyone's guessing really at this stage!) you could argue that the Diamond Princess represents the absolute upper band of what could happen - in reality people are less confined, i.e 19% "catch rate" may be way too high an estimate and people aren't all old, cruise shippers, i.e. 1% death rate may also be too high...

Just reached Ireland. The east side. I'm expecting the whole place to be infected by Monday and I dont even have one of those wee masks yet. End of Days.
Repent Sinners.
I shall pray for you all - I suggest you do the same.

Australians are ready. We know what will happen if we all get quarantined. There is no more toilet paper in supermarkets. They have put a limit of 4 packets per customer when they get new supplies. Toilet paper is being sold out of the backs of cars for $5 per roll. Hand sanitisers and masks are unavailable till a shipload from China arrives. I will have to make do with the P2 masks from the hardware store I use when I clean the house.

I did something extremely bad today. I couldn’t help it. I was in a lift at Sydney’s main railway station - full of about 25 people. And I sneezed. Into my elbow, of course. I knew why - the offending perfume was being worn by someone in the lift, and if I get within 3 metres (10 feet for you Yanks and Old Timers) of it and I will sneeze. And then, I laughed, and merely said “infected” just as the doors opened. Never seen a lift clear out so quickly in my life. I’m a naughty, naughty boy. Funny though.

How are the fires going over there? I would have guessed that masks were already in short supply because of the fires. As soon as coronavirus reared its head, scalded koalas stopped getting talked about in the US.
