And here we see the actual reason for twats making sure the shelves are empty. They used to put profiteers in prison for shit like that.

To legally qualify as "gouging" almost always invariably requires said items to be considered "essential" and wiping your azz is not considered as such. Sure, it makes for happier friends & family to not have dingleberries, but let's face it in that it won't kill you and may even serve as a primitive form of birth control. After all, how long can you hold your breath?

On a more positive note, let us take hope from the fact that 70000 people have recovered...
More than 82,000 people have recovered from coronavirus

I didn't know you could die of sciatica, unless you couldn't move fast enough to get out of the way of a horse!
"suddenly" seems quite common P.

We always keep 3-4 weeks supply of nonperishable foods and paper goods on hand, since we live in an earthquake zone, and a couple days ago we went our local library and checked out about 20 books each. Sure enough, the next day the library system closed for at least the next month.

I love the use of "suddenly".I didn't know you could die of sciatica, unless you couldn't move fast enough to get out of the way of a horse!
"So doctor, how did my husband die?
"Errr....suddenly madam?, to be honest I've no idea"

Crazy indeed - and does not speak well of our society - I'm old enough to remember the Thatcher years - an extension of - greed is good - fuck you - I'm more important than all of us - not an attitude I subscribe to - my partner went today to a superstore Tesco - and the place had been mostly stripped bare - thankfully - where I live - south side of Glasgow - the metro size stores and local corner shops are free of this madness. Possibly an element in this is the local shop keepers aren't going to put up with interlopers - who can't do the pleasantries in Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Kurdish, Roma, Polish, Latvian - to name but a few - I live in the most ethnically diverse postcode in Scotland - of which I am extremely proud. I'm just going to buy what I need - when I need it - as normal. I live in a communal building - a tenement - one front door - nine flats off a common stairwell - we in the low risk category are talking about how to look after our neighbours that might be at greater risk - should the shit hit the fan - we can help each other. I don't get the toilet roll thing? I haven't read at all that a likely outcome of you getting the virus - is that the world is going to fall out your arse - anybody bulk buying toilet roll - self evidently hasn't traveled much off the beaten track - we all have a ready supply of loo paper - at hand - literally - the left one - everybody is washing their hands to an ocd level - so what's the problem? That being said - I am currently sitting on enough base materials to make at least 10 kilos of bar soap - coming to Ebay soon! Joke - previously - second world war for instance - that would have been considered profiteering - and you might have been shot for it. Self isolation? - I fancy that - all I need is twelve bottles of whisky, two crates of diet coke and several kilos of ice. Sorted - job done - catch up on some reading. If it truly goes pear shaped - the meek shall inherit the earth - hopefully - I.

Breaking the law during World War Two
Much is made of the Blitz spirit during World War Two but, while most people were mucking in and pulling together, some were using the devastation for criminal gains.

Nobody seems to report how any have recovered. These are dark days where folk are more obsessed with how many are going to die than survive and I don't think it helps.
I know it is a serious matter but we should be looking at it in a more 'We are going to defeat this' than a mortality rate count.
