>all in all, this pandemic was people trying to help and be helping.

Even here in South Australia where we were had tiny numbers (a few 10s of cases a day), the supermarket shelves were stripped bare of toilet paper, sanitizer, hand towels, food).

Weirdly, in Bendigo a bunch of Asian tour buses came up from Melbourne explicitly so they could raid the supermarkets. Crazy stuff.

I guess I am lucky, but there was no toilet paper shortage.
