I hope that face masks and hand sanitizers will soon return to the market the way that fresh vegetables and fruits to look have done in recent days.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-52385051037329652632020-02-11T00:05:29.684+08:002020-02-11T00:05:29.684+08:00Hi There,

At the Apita in Tai Koo Shing (where I normally get the rice I like), the rice aisle was completely bare. After rushing over to the Aeon in the same neighborhood, I managed to snag a 2kg packet on a fast emptying set of shelves. I didn't even botherYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-10163499564648191602020-02-09T22:50:29.669+08:002020-02-09T22:50:29.669+08:00Hi There,

Oh dear, no rice, no toilet papers, no bleaching agents. Even most pastas and dried noodles are out. This proved rumours are really bad these days.<br /><br />I wonder how the hoarders are going to store their rice.

And yes, I've seen people (unduly) freaking out before and stocking up like crazy on things (including as typhoons approach). But this really is on a different level -- and it's interesting to see that this panic buying has spread to YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-4160455405762662082020-02-08T20:19:16.516+08:002020-02-08T20:19:16.516+08:00Hi There,

Consequently, I found myself counting the number of rolls of toilet paper I have left -- something I never thought I'd ever do.
