A Message From The CEO of Woolworths On Accessing Stocks & Editor's Notes

These remain challenging times and with the situation evolving, I'd like to share what Woolworths is doing to support our customers, team members and the community. Helping you get access to what you need We've been working hard to keep our shelves stocked and Delivery and Pick up windows available. However, as you are no doubt aware, demand is still very high and products are being bought more quickly than usual when they arrive in store. To help everyone access the essential things they need, limits are now in place on toilet paper, wipes, paper towels, serviettes, rice and some other items. It also, unfortunately, means that toilet paper won't be available for Pick up orders for the time being, but our team will be happy to see if toilet paper is available in store when you come in to pick up your order. Our toilet paper suppliers continue to work on meeting increased demand, and we're working with some suppliers to prioritise the production of smaller pack sizes, so we can make more packs available to you this week. For more details about limits, please go to woolworths.com.au/updates We're actively helping seniors in our community We’ve now partnered with Meals On Wheels to begin the delivery of toilet paper directly to seniors in need. The first deliveries were made in NSW today and we’re doing what we can to expand this service in the weeks to come. Our stores are being cleaned more than usual As a food retailer, we already have very high standards of cleaning and hygiene in place. However, as a precautionary measure and out of care for everyone’s wellbeing, we've added an extra 4 hours of proactive deep cleaning in each Supermarket every day. Keeping you updated if there is a case in one of our stores If one of our customers or team members is confirmed with COVID-19, we’ll let you know in that store. We continue to take advice from the Department of Health to make sure we’re taking all the necessary steps to ensure ongoing safety, including additional detailed cleaning in store where necessary. Looking after our team members This week we announced a number of extra ways we're supporting our teams during this time. This includes making sure we look after anyone impacted by the outbreak, whether they are full-time, part-time or casual. We will, of course, keep our focus on our team members as the situation changes. In the meantime, I'd like to thank you for your continued patience and for showing respect and support for our team as they work hard to support you and our local communities.

Some people would call it sensible, others  will call it crazy and irrational behavior. I call it greed. Simply greed, looking after one's own interest. It could also be called being selfish. It reminds me of when I met my grandfather from Czechoslovakia (at the time known country name) and he was telling me how he was living in a communist country how everything was rationed off - tickets given for ordinary milk, break and butter. And your ID will be checked so you don't over buy or get a double  ration. It would be better if people who have bought in bulk in the past give these items away or at least sell to others neighbors, friends at the price they bought it for and keep what is needed for their weekly or fortnightly shopping. Just a thought how people could be kind.

Who's Holding The Cure For The Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

Interesting perspective way to look at the Corona Virus from Alex Downer former Australian Foreign Minister on Twitter:

"So far this year 4,000 people have died from covid19, 92,000 from flu, 320,000 from HIV/AIDS, 256,000 from road accidents. Perspective!"

From Science alert the Corona Virus has been around since the early 1960's. So why the big scar? Is this politically motivated, not from Leaders around the world, from people or organisations that influence any governments? That is my thought.

I understand that deaths are increasing per day around the world and I not saying we shouldn't prevent these deaths. Toilet papers are been bought in huge numbers, as well as serviettes, hand sanitizes, pasta and rice have been cleaned off supermarket shelves.  Which is total stupidity going on. Selfish people out there looking after themselves packaging these items and sending them to overseas, not caring about all of us individual Australians

This makes me this me think that someone wants these every day living items go sky-rocketing in sales. So is this really a senseless profiteering racket that is happening under our eyes. Who's got the cure for this virus? Shall we ask or who is hiding it from us now?

Has a country or someone got the cure or antivirus and is holding back until they release this and make multi billion dollars on it?According to Australian Government Department of Health, there is no current cure yet.

"Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus. Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly. There is evidence that it spreads from person to person. Good hygiene can prevent infection."

*What Is a Coronavirus?

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses known for containing strains that cause potentially deadly diseases in mammals and birds. In humans they're typically spread via airborne droplets of fluid produced by infected individuals.

Some rare but notable strains, including SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19), and those responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), can cause death in humans.

First described in detail in the 1960s, the coronavirus gets its name from a distinctive corona or 'crown' of sugary-proteins that projects from the envelope surrounding the particle. Encoding the virus's make-up is the longest genome of any RNA-based virus – a single strand of nucleic acid roughly 26,000 to 32,000 bases long. 

There are four known genuses in the family, named Alphacoronavirus, Betacoronavirus, Gammacoronavirus, and Deltacoronavirus. The first two only infect mammals, including bats, pigs, cats, and humans. Gammacoronavirus mostly infects birds such as poultry, while Deltacoronavirus can infect both birds and mammals.

What are the symptoms of a coronavirus?

Coronaviruses can give rise to a variety of symptoms in different animals. While some strains cause diarrhoea in pigs and in turkeys, most of the time infections can be compared to a bad cold, causing mild to moderate upper respiratory problems such as a runny nose and sore throat.

There are a handful of lethal exceptions, which have had a devastating impact on livestock and human health around the globe.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2)

SARS-CoV-2 was first identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019. At the time of writing, numbers of infected are still on the rise, with a mortality rate of around 1 percent. 

Snakes were originally suspected as a potential source for the outbreak, though other experts have deemed this unlikely and proposed bats instead. As of February 2020, the search for the animal origin of COVID-19 is ongoing.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV)

SARS was first recognised as a distinct strain of coronavirus in 2003. The source of the virus has never been clear, though the first human infections can be traced back to the Chinese province of Guangdong in 2002.

The virus then became a pandemic, causing more than 8,000 infections of an influenza-like disease in 26 countries with close to 800 deaths.

Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV)

MERS was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 in people displaying symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath and occasionally gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhoea. An animal source for the virus has never been officially confirmed, though evidence points to dromedary camels as a potential reservoir of infection.

The World Health Organisation has identified around 2,500 cases of infection in 27 countries since initial outbreaks, resulting in nearly 860 deaths.
