Nobody maybe admitting it, but have a look how easy it isn't to get hold of face masks in places like screwfix at the moment
Due to "worldwide" demand they are restricting how many you can buy. Also note how many they are out of stock of.

Indeed......
Should anybody feel inclined to purchase, it would be advisable to buy a P3 rated mask
Better with a half mask with filters rather than a paper jobbie.
Just as importantly. Latex gloves
Many of the cheaper paper dust masks wouldn't offer much in the way of virus protection, especially if they don't fit snuggly
If you do feel inclined you would be advised to do while they can still be bought relatively easily
They have steadily been decreasing in availability over the last 10 days or so
Make of that what you will!

Yep, been prepping. Stocked up on vino. Unfortunately we keep drinking the stuff so have to pop out on mercy missions to the local grog shop.

Hope it’s sorted by the beginning of July. I’ve got a 16 year old going to South Korea and Japan for her holidays.

It’s going to be a very interesting next few months if this hasn’t been sorted by summer. We’ve got just over a month before we hack home via Singapore, Hanoi & Bangkok. Or we could just extend our visa & just stay in Aus. Choices, choices.
