Latest fake news, that is spread around wechat is that boiling 8 cloves of garlic in water and drinking it has been proven by chinese doctors to cure the Corona virus.
Masses are ignorent. If I did my best and spread a false statement that, "experts say my restaurants serves the only soup that has been proven to make people resistant to covid-19", I would be sold out for weeks.

I mean...at that point you'll reek of garlic and people will stay away from you. Because people will stay away from you, you're less likely to encounter the virus. It should be obvious that I'm employing sarcasm here. Also, vampire protection.

If garlic cured COVID-19 then there is no chance Italy would be infected.

Yes - because attracting ignorant masses to your place of business is a great idea during a pandemic.

I hope that garlic thing is true, because that means I'm pretty safe. I'm also testing the hypothesis that rosé wine and Dominos pizza works too... so far, so good 👍

My guess is by stocking up, you won't have to leave the house. That doesn't make sense to me though because you'll still need to leave to get food.

I didn't know you had Walmart in Australia.
"Stomach flu" (gastroenteritis) is rather common, so I'm guessing people assume the actual flu has diarrhea as a symptom as well.

Just gonna have to wait for your grand children a few thousand generations removed to wipe your booty for you.
Went to the Costco and they appear to have come up with a clever idea to forestall all the TP pandemonium. They made a row with nothing but TP, paper towel and hand sanitizers with signs saying "two per customer only." In curious how well customers will follow that in the months after we get our first case.
People have gone way over the top about Toilet Paper buying, and now supermarkets over here they limit what you can buy.Far-sighted marketing plan. You know what happens when we're pretty scared, there's probably going to be toilet paper shortage worldwide, over the next few weeks, and months.
Look, I'm not completely sure that I'm joking.

When I was in Singapore the rumour was that they need the same paper for toilets as they do in face masks so supllies were supposed to become scarcer as mask production increased.

Ammunition sales have suddenly skyrocketed in the US: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/g...ales-jump-as-americans-stock-up-for-covid-19/ Guess people are planning to improve their personal protection capabilities.
As for the situation in my country, we've had the first couple cases just 20 kilometers away from my place so I guess I can say the virus is here. Today I wanted to go to the mall and do some shopping, but right in front of the entrance I saw it was pretty crowded in there so I turned around and went home. No need to take unnecessary risks I guess. The flu is also going round and that's not good either.

Protect themselves from what exactly? You can't shoot a virus. Stockpiling ammunition is some straight-up paranoia that the world is going to collapse. If you're going to stockpile anything it should be Tylenol since if things really get bad, that will be the first thing that you actually need and isn't available.
