I thought I would create a multiplication of toilet rolls because panic buyers are starting to empty the shelves again in the supermarket. Now I have made more toilet rolls in a photo all I need now is a 3D printer to turn it into reality, ha ha.
Why people have started panic buying again I have no idea. Let's get this into perspective. I know there has been a spike in new cases with 75 new community transmitted cases in Victoria in the last 24 hours. That occurred because restrictions were eased and some people just couldn't be sensible and keep their distance or stay at home when they had symptoms.
Also 3 new cases in South Australia and 5 new cases in New South Wales, all due to returned travellers from overseas who are in quarantine. So altogether we have 83 new cases in the whole of Australia. Compared to the rest of the world I don't think we are doing too badly.
Australia has a population of 26 million people and a land mass of 7.692 million square kilometres why on earth do people have to panic buy toilet rolls.
I like the colors in this creation!
I don't get it either! Today was the first day in 5 month that I actually saw a few rolls of paper towels and toilet paper on the shelf at my local market. We didn't need either but I was so excited to see it available again, I bought a package of my favorite brand of each...just for fun! :)
Such a great fun image, and crazy story. We never had as much panic buying and always seemed to have some rolls to buy somewhere. Your country is doing exceptionally well.
I know right, so stupid that people haven't caught on that the only thing that brings on a shortage of toilet paper is panic buying it. great image, scary!
Ports - air and sea - will open tomorrow and we, too, are expecting an upwards surge of Covid19 cases. Too bad for all of us who have just been out of lockdown. I cannot understand why of all items in a supermarket toilet paper is most targeted. Beautiful how you made this - I like.
Makes absolutely no sense to me either! Thankfully the panic buying has not happened here as well. We finally have loo rolls and flour back on the shelves again after a sporadic and almost total supply chain failure since the beginning of March. Hope yours settles down soon!
A fun tribute to the ridiculous people who think overstocking toilet paper will calm their fears! Our paper products have been stocked well enough over the last month but the cleaning products are still missing completely. I guess if I see toilet paper on the shelves this week I'd better pick up one pack just in case!
Creative and funny, I do see what you mean, here in the Uk we are waiting for the next spike because of letting the lockdown ease. We now have one city in localised lockdown for 2 weeks while they try and trace the carriers of the infection. They do recon the second spike will be in October, I only hope they are wrong.
The prettiest toilet roll picture I have ever seen Babs! I think Australia has a great record during this Coronavirus pandemic...I think NZ has had problems with retuning NZlanders too. We are bound to have surges here because some people mostly the young ones are not behaving!
@sangwann Thanks Dione. Hope you don't get a second wave as restrictions ease.
@fbailey You could be right. The supermarkets still have pasta and rice on the shelves at the moment.
During the first shortage I heard a woman complaining that there was no rice or pasta on the shelves and I said 'For God's sake eat a potato for a change' She just stared at me and then walked off.
I'm afraid to have to agree with a second wave coming around October and being housebound over the fall and winter will be much harder.as to tp...still on the shelves. love your multiplication picture is awesome.

Oh, fun shot ;)
I don't understand this panic buying.
Well,
Nice creative shot. That 3D printing is an idea lol.
@gardenfolk Ha ha,
@ludwigsdiana I never actually ran out of them but it did come close on occasion.

I did feel guilty buying them because I didn't really need them at the moment. I just had the idea of taking the photo so bought a packet for that alone. Shouldn't need to buy any more for a while though so hopefully stocks will be up and running again by then.
@ingrid01 Ha Ha who would have thought that we would be on the world news because of panic buying toilet rolls.
@pcoulson Ha ha indeed.
@sangwann Thanks Dione. Hope you don't get a second wave as restrictions ease.
