Like, for whatever reason, they think Coronavirus causes you to shit yourself to death?
Hand sanitizer. I get why that's hard to find now. But toilet paper? WTF? Apparently it's worth its size in gold, here in Texas right now. Even though nobody actually HAS Coronavirus other than the cruise ship victims who were sent to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio for treatment.
Stay safe (and rational), my friends. |  |

Aye, that truly puts into perspective the 'then-and-now' era's. The mindset of the bygone brave, tough and unpampered is stark. Now the battery runs flat on someones I-Phone and it is major crisis stuff. |
A brave soldier is a brave soldier, makes no difference what era they came from.
Unless you are comparing those prisoners of war, against a modern day civvy, which is more than a bit daft. |  |

Darran needs as much as possible - he talks so much shit |
Look, i'm no snowflake, and i realise that Darran can be a bit of a tvvat, like all of us. But please can you change your Avator as it's more than a bit offensive to be calling another poster of this site 'Tvvat' every time you post. Besides that, don't you think it's a tad juvenile and immature? |  | | |

Random thought maybe?
If British prisoners of war could do an 18 hour shift building a Japanese railway system with dysentery cholera, malaria, TB and starvation? Surely we can manage in far lesser trying circumstances? |
Excellent post.....👠|  | | |

People have gone soft. Today’s average person simply wouldn’t have survived in the past.
It’s the snowflake generation......😩 | | | |

I'm surprised at you. This isn't about 'people being made of sterner stuff' back in the day, it's a killer virus, if my wife contracts it she will be in serious life threatening danger as she has no immune system due to other health problems. What a flippant attitude to take.  | | | |

I speaking solely about the toilet paper situation, which I think you'd agree most can adapt to.
I have similar worries to yourself regarding two elderly relatives in particular. | |

That isn’t true. Only the strongest survived in the past. Today you can sit at home , take drugs, claim dole, stuff your face constantly, where as in the past you had a choice between hard work or simply not surviving. | | | |

It certainly was not meant to come across that way especially after reading other stuff on here e.g. someone worrying about two relatives with COPD. The prisoners of war went without basic items for years that was the least of their worries. [Post edited 11 Mar 2020 20:23]

Aye, if you go back to neanderthal man.

The older generation were so stoic, they took surviving on mere basics, the bare minimum, lesser comfortable living standards and rationing etc in their stride. [Post edited 11 Mar 2020 18:57]

Rationing was introduced because people had exactly the same tendencies then as they do now. If people then had genuinely been different and only taken their fair share, rationing would not have been needed.
Spare the sentimental bollox will you. | | | |

Not to the extent like it is today. Even 100 years ago, you had a choice between work or simply not surviving. There wasn’t a safety net in those days like there is today.
The problem with having a safety net is people abuse that safety net and some people even make it a way of life.....fact. | | | |

Surely rationing was not introduced, cos folk were greedy sods
There were many other reasons other than that. Just to add balance to the discussion! |  | | |

U-Boats! U-Boats! U-Boats!
There was a character/landlord famous to his locality who appeared on HTV Wales news, he was in the merchant navy. His ship got sunk during WW2. The country was struggling to supply itself. Add the merchant navy boys to what has been described by many as the greatest generation. | |

It was introduced as the only way of ensuring that scarce goods were (relatively) every distributed amongst the population.
The availability was the availability. That wasn’t changed by rationing it. The way it was shared out was the only change. If it hadn’t been introduced, the richest would have had the lot. Much as it is now when the ones that can stockpile are, by definition, the ones that can afford to do so.
People haven’t changed their nature as years have passed. They play the hand that is dealt. Selfishly in most cases. As they always have. | | | |

I think some people use it instead of tissues so maybe that explains the hike in demand.

So Trump is banning travel from Europe, but not American citizens returning from Europe. Lets hope his hunch is right and that only foreigners can catch it. |  |
