@Colin_T we have so many legos!

 

[Fishmanic]

There may be a lego shortage. because people like Colin are panic buying and hoarding legos.

 

[Retired Viking]

Even worst, they closed down lego land at the Mall of America

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Well, it’s official!

We were just ordered a couple of minutes ago not to go out to any meetings, in groups of 10 or more. That essentially means no going out. Good thing I went shopping before this was issued.

Im thinking of buying lego set and lock my self and family in the house.

Lego is temporarily shutting down its stores and the CEO put out a letter...
It's nice to see some companies taking care of their employees.
And yes I have Lego. I am regressing back to my childhood.

Well I'm surprised your still posting on this forum rather than working on your food needs...

I go to the shops every day but there is no food there. It's the same right across the country. Supermarkets have no food or cleaning products in stock. The stores have put up signs saying there is a limit of 2 of any item per customer per day for most items, but cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues, etc have a limit of 1 per day.

I have written to the government and asked for help but no response and I don't expect to get one.
I have written to the CEOs of the supermarket chains and I doubt I will get a response from them.
I have spoken to the store managers at the supermarkets around here and they understand my concerns but there is nothing they can do.

There's nothing else I can do.

The Olympics are apparently still going ahead and Australia is setting up isolation camps for the athletes so they are free of the virus before they leave the country.

Yeah my cousins in Perth are having a hard time with groceries as well....

Why dont they shutting down Olympic?

 

[JuiceBox52]

king county (Seattle area) is setting up multiple field hospitals, housing 200 beds each

Probably because that would "cause too much panic" part of the panic is the government not taking it seriously... this would cause so many more infections. Maybe if they just had the athletes and judges and had people watch from home? That would at least help

Are you able to get to the store as soon as they open? "The early bird gets the worm". I just ordered a lot of peanut butter and rice cakes online and will get it in a couple of days. Can you order food online in Australia? Like from Amazon or a similar service?

Apparently there is too much money invested in the Olympics so Japan wants it to go ahead.

I don't do mornings unless the store is open at 2am.
Most of the stores do normally have online shopping and deliveries, but they have stopped that due to lack of stock.

What about buying instant noodles? can you eat noodles @Colin_T?

 

[Fishmanic]

Is there a service like Amazon in Australia. Might be another source for nonperishable food.

You might have to start doing mornings ... the choice is yours: food, or sleep
