The 2019-2020 Coronavirus outbreak thread

[The New California Republic]

Thanks to the panic caused by Convid-19, I went to 3 supermarkets to try to purchase toilet paper, and they were all out

What's that?

Covid-19

I seem to have missed the memo on this one actually. Why are people stocking up on toilet paper? Does Covid give you the shits or something?

Similarly though, my mum (nurse) told me to start stocking up on Paracetamol, cause the generics supplier get it raw material from China. Turns out she was right.

4 supermarkets, sorry, not three. I guess the reasoning is that if shit hits the fan (pun unintended) and ththere'smass quarantine and/or lowered production, they're covered

Covid-19

I think he might be asking what toilet paper is.

It's what you wipe your bum with, if he was.

He's a man after my own heart.

Sharing is caring!

Incase someone is quarenteened, they will not run out of toilet paper.

what, and jail him alongside other people?

Which other people are we referring to? Other people who go to public events after being told to isolate themselves?
Then yes.

That seemed pretty obvious. Also, no.

Why should he isolate himself? Personally, I would have done the exact same thing (continued with my normal life.)

Because it is only fair to everyone else to not endanger them for your own selfish reasons. This guy and anyone who refuses to self isolate once it is clear they have the virus are twats.

How are people supposed to obtain basic supplies if they self isolate?

How are people supposed to obtain basic supplies if they self isolate?

By contacting others. They still have their phones and internet connection. Simply call them and inform them of what you need.

At what point did you “know” he had the virus?

Too bad if you'te a loner. And/or all your family/friends are interstate/overseas. Also, too bad if you run a business

You're not my problem. I don't care about your health, and even if it was guaranteed that by refusing to self isolate I would endanger people I actually did care about I still wouldn't do it.

Depends on the business. Everyone in the company I work for has the capability to work from home.

I was referring to the article previously posted here about the man who was told to isolate and refused to.

Then just call the police? I am sure they would be willing to help out. And as for business just put someone else in charge for a while. Better than infecting your employees.

Than personally I think your a twat.

What if you run a customer-facing business, like a shop or restaurant? Just shuttering it for 2 weeks could be a major issue, especially if what you're selling is perishable and you'll have to do a complete restock.

Then put another person in charge for a while. Pretty simple solution.

Like who? It's a little family business, everyone who you could just put in charge has come into contact with you already.

Then just close down the business. Sucks you have to lose some money but think about how much more you would lose if word got out you knew you were infected but fine with endangering your customers.

What? Why does that matter? The dude was told he may have the virus so he should avoid social gathering to avoid infecting others but then proceeded to ignore that and potentially put others at risk for no good reason. The knowledge of everyone else there is not really relevant to deciding if that was okay or not(it is not.)

Of course it's okay. The others at the social gathering likely meant absolutely nothing to him, so why should he think about them? I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a shit.

None of that matters. Random people still matter and their health and lives should still be considered. It is not all about you.

And may not have had it for all anyone knew, in which case the government had no business telling him to isolate himself.
