Although pretty much every other disease/illness kills more people every day than the Coronavirus. I'm thinking of using it as the perfect excuse to take my family on an extended camping trip! (Safety first is what i'll tell my wife.)

Where would be your ideal camping spot during the Coronapocalypse? Preferably somewhere all the snotty zombies can't get to and the fishing is great.

And last question, should I follow suit and buy a lifetimes supply of toilet paper and if so why is everyone buying a lifetimes supply of toilet paper? Should I be stockpiling beer instead? I have heard a rumour that alcohol helps fight the virus.

I'm waiting for the price of Mexico's finest beer to plummet, so I can buy big. The more you drink, the more you save.

My better half is a nurse of 20 years, she has just informed me that alcohol does and will in fact kill any virus :)
It just has to be 66% alcohol or above, sorry beer wont help but I am sure we can hit Dan Murphy up for something that will work.
Now to nail down that fishing spot

back before I became old and soft my favourite bourbon was actually bookers which was about 65%, are you suggesting I should start drinking bourbon again?

I heard about the run on bogrolls so I went down to woolies tonight to look for myself. I walk around the corner of the aisle and its completely empty, with the woolies girl standing there looking a little bewildered. She saw me trying to suppress a smile and started laughing too. . Since when does a flu type virus give you the runs? Am i missing something? My son was at his local supermarket and they were resorting to fisticuffs over the last packs of tp. . Wtf?

Also worth noting that for disinfection, you don't want to go much higher than 70% ethanol, as higher concentrations don't permeate across the cell membrane properly, and can crystalise and damage the membrane leaving most of the cell intact.

Relevant for bacteria moreso than viruses, but hey, the more you know...

Ha - I was sent on a mission to get some today! Got some of the last ones. The staff were quite amused by it all, but not so funny if we couldn't get any, with two teenagers in the house! I'm not quite ready to explain to my daughter how Indians and Nepalese etc do it! And hard to wipe your bum with a digital newspaper!! :eek:

Time to start recycling! Use both sides then hang out to dry and sweep it off with a stiff broom. For those not prepared to reduce, reuse, recycle may I suggest offering it to your friends and neighbors. Or advertise it on Ebay or Gumtree, you're sure to make some cash! :D
