So It Starts - All Over Again

Mary asked me to do z flashback and be inspired for my get pushed, I've missed the deadline but the contrast between this https://365project.org/30pics4jackiesdiamond/365/2016-09-14 and this post yesterday is perfect, in retrospect!!

Both are awful, embarrassing, unnecessary and a poor reflection on the human race.

Wow!

[Babs]

Oh no. Our second wave didn't cause as much disruption to the shelves as the first one, probably because most of the hoarders still had plenty of supplies from the first round. I suspect quite a lot of people will be using their hoarded supplies for the next 10 years at least.

[Kathy A]

Oh no, I remember that happening here when Covid first started but here in Australia we are doing so well at the moment.

[katy]

Your tag says it all! So many stupid people in the world. I guess I need to watch out for this

[Mags]

These are awful times.

[Anne]

What is the matter with people?????

[Esther Rosenberg]

What???, this is crazy.

[Martina]

Ohh!

[Taffy]

Good grief! As if no one has learned anything!

[Carole Sandford]

Did they starve last time? Most of them are probably still working their way through their mountains of toilet roll! And then of course at the opposite end of the scale is all those that think it’s all a hoax & don’t give a s—- about who’s life they may be putting at risk! Sometimes the great British public ain’t so great 🙄🙄

I know - it's so disappointing. And so selfish. I went normal shopping and couldn't get any pasta, and didn't know why!! Then I read online about panic buying once more!!! No learning what so ever!!!

[Lin]

Here in TN, our supplies come and go...If the product is there (paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap) I buy one each time I shop. Our stores had set a limit on these items - not sure if that is still in place. I wish I could say I'm surprised at the selfishness of people, but after the last 6 months, I consider it the norm...sad, isn't it???

[Shutterbug]

Our shortages seem to float around. First TP, then bread flour, and intermittently pasta, bathroom cleaners, paper towels, moisturizing eye drops and back to TP again. We have just started making sure we have extras so we have a longer time to try to get it. The eye drops is probably because of the hazardous air this month. Crazy times we are living in.

@carole_sandford Same can be said for US.

[Susan Wakely]

The shop with the Orange sign and starts with S had plenty.

[Sally Ings]

It's bizarre what people do. This obsession with loo rolls has me flummoxed.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Yikes.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I truly thought once that first insanity that people had a good laugh at themselves and realised it had been totally unneeded. But same here, we have outbreaks and everyone tries to buy every last roll. Even with the supermarkets having caps on how much any person may buy, it still happens here at times. I just can't understand it...

[KoalaGardens🐨]

hey how come there is a koala on that loo paper????

[JackieR]

[Gillian Brown]

Crazy.

[Shutterbug]

Yup, can’t see it but everyone around is complaining of burning eyes.

[Kathy]

I forgot that England was having another shut down. We've never fully opened up here.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Good gawd, I feel your pain... ugh.

[Monique]

😣

[JackieR]

@mcsiegle I missed the deadline but am sure I was inspired by the flashback I did for Skip's Friday!

[Mary Siegle]

Yep. I see the parallel. Mission accomplished, Jackie. Oh, dear. I hope this phase passes quickly.
