It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

[tmcom]

So groups are telling people to go home, and not be in groups, oooook!

And this stupid woman, which l hope isn't Australian. And l calmly walk into Coles last week for a 24 pack.

Well, l see someone with one and walk quickly, to grab the last bundle, not go ape-****.

So just like the previous one, this thread is about how insane it is becoming or some people, please share we can all use a laugh.

The  stores should have been limiting necessities like that from the beginning.

Yes, we currently have stupid people that horded the 24 packs months ago, saying that they were going to be rich, then after Ebay recorded a 24 pack going for $5000, then killed the add, with other big online sellers doing likewise, their dreams are in tatters.

One managed to sell a 54 pack for around 6k, but that was the only one that got through.

But l got two 4 rolls before this hysteria hit, then calmly kept driving to likely places, until Coles, waved their hands.

And when l got there there were between 20-30 4 packs, but since l am limited to one only, and there was one 24 pack left l grabbed that, or no one else was there, apart from some old lady asking me how much they were?

She wasn't apes..t. either, it appears that ethnic backgrounds are the ones that go loopy first.

And how much did l pay, $9, and how much are they going for on Ebay, about $50.

How many people have wrapped their heads around this:

Currently 8500 dead in the US.  The death rate is doubling every 4 days.  If this exponential remains true throughout April...by May 2nd... 1,088,000 dead in the US.  Keep in mind there were only 30 confirmed cases in the US on March 1st.

The death rate is doubling every 3 days in the UK.  With 4300 dead currently...that exponential rate would put the UK death rate by May 1st at  2,201,600.

Pretty sobering numbers because...no one really knows how long it will be until we reach the logistics curve where things start leveling off.

You think it's a Mad World now?! Wait until May...

Funniest part to me in the first video are the customers with bags calmly walking by the ridiculous marching band, not giving a ****. Is there something different about Argentinians that is supposed to make them unable to handle and run from live drumming, or are these workers not working with a full deck of cards upstairs?
