Thanks for the info,i have been looking for them in the wrong places and if the UK has them in Lidl i assume they got them in the Netherlands as well.

It's crazy that it took this for me to realize that society is running a the thinnest margin possible. Everything is completely min-max'd by modern computing with zero leeway for any other possible outcomes than a bit of harsh weather for a time or in the case of hospitals a holiday weekend. Supermarkets, if they run out of stock have to close down because they have no other plans in place for restocking. You'd think somebody in government would have realized this problem and worked with industries to account for this, esspecially in places like Australia with seasonal wildfires or Canada with the mad snows but no, the only places on Earth who seem to be running on something other than pure lean accounting seem to be the ones already isolated like Alaska. There is no plans, if a bad disaster like a city killer astroid hit we are all fucked, the entire planet would rush to clear out every industry and recourse and we'd all die before any nuclear winter set in. |
Yep, I call bull on all those plague disaster movies that still have most of the stores stocked to survive on for years after!
We already saw what happens with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Here in Canada there are no big buffers for snow storms. The army gets called in to clear the snow out and deliver food and water. That only works when it's a small part of the country that needs help.
2,089 new cases today already and Italy hasn't phoned in yet. 3500 new cases yesterday, average growth factor seems to be 1.15 (outside China) atm. China is getting less and less new cases (+100) and 1678 discharged today, 22k active cases left out of 42k world wide. Tomorrow there will be more active cases outside China than in China. (There probably already are, still many undetected cases around)
Assuming the 1.15x trend continues, in 2 weeks there will be 22K new cases daily and near 500 deaths daily.
End of next week is the start of March break here. Perfect timing for people to go travel around for a week :/ Spring break has already started and lasts for a month (spread out) in the USA... Luckily it seems younger people get infected less (or simply show less symptoms). But who knows how far along it actually is in the USA.

Humanity worldwide, increases efficiency to such a degree (partially to save the planet), that some illness, takes most, if not all of us out, saving the planet.
Oh the irony.
