It's doing my fucking head in!! All I want is a nice evening reading threads!

All I'm getting is bloody Coronavirus garbage!!

There is a topic for coronavirus, I've hidden it! But almost every fucking thread I go on is a corona virus thread in disguise!

AIBU to just stay away from Mumsnet until it's all over! Or is it just me getting pissed off?

So are you prepping or not? Grin

Just hide the threads. I've hidden about eleventy billion so far. I'm getting repetitive strain injury from the swiping.

Take heart. Mother’s Day is quickly taking over.

If you hid the threads the active convos would be a blank page.

Make yourself a fort out of your stockpiled toilet roll and tinned tomatoes and sit in it til everyone calms down. Grin

If you survived Brexit and the multiple Prime Ministers, royal weddings and royal babies, you can survive this too.

Plenty of vodka and if that doesn't work, reach for the hard drugs (if the panic buyers haven't got to them already).

SheWolfofFrance · 06/03/2020 23:01

It's ok the Mother's Day threads are starting up gleefully grabs 🍿 popcorn

That's true. Brace yourself for hundreds of whinging threads about garage flowers and husbands who have the audacity to want to share part of the day with their mums...

WhiteBadger · 06/03/2020 23:02

I've just realised the irony of my post.

Looks like you’re suffering from normalcy bias. It makes you statistically more likely to perish in the event of a disaster.

itsallthedramaMickiloveit · 06/03/2020 23:04

The Easter Holidays are fast approaching.

There will soon come a day when we miss these BS threads.

Killerqueen2244 · 06/03/2020 23:04

Let’s all go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for this to blow over....😜

TitaniaQoF · 06/03/2020 23:04

@WorraLiberty you could pay for your hard drugs by selling hand sanitiser at £50 a gram

WhiteBadger · 06/03/2020 23:05

@lycidas I'd look forward to perishing in a landslide of toilet roll or drowning in hand santoser if it gets me away from this madness!!

I'd have to set up my own factory in a disused warehouse somewhere Grin

WorraLiberty · 06/03/2020 23:08

I don't understand why people are panic buying loo roll.

I'm pretty sure having the shits is not a symptom of the Coronavirus? Confused

Yogawoogie · 06/03/2020 23:13

Just keep starting lots of unrelated posts. Drown it out.
Btw I just purchased a four pack of toilet roll (because I need it).

itsallthedramaMickiloveit · 06/03/2020 23:13

So my friend posted on Fb that in her area people have panic bought Wine...

Her shops are out. People have genuinely bulk bought wine.....

My people are out there.

WhiteBadger · 06/03/2020 23:14

I know! Toilet paper! I thought it was a joke at first!

Maybe we should start a thread and all say that we've been to local the supermarket and they're running out of light bulbs. See if it starts a panic buy!!

Hahahah

How do you hide the coronavirus topic?? I'm desperate to get rid of them, I want to sit down with a cuppa and read all about someone's CF neighbors parking two foot past their driveway, or someone slagging their MIL off for daring to exist 😂

iklboo · 06/03/2020 23:17

@Killerqueen2244 - first round's on me. What are you having?

RainMinusBow · 06/03/2020 23:17

My OH has horrific back pain and has just had major spinal surgery. Due to selfish idiots stockpiling Ibuprofen in our local supermarkets we are really struggling to get hold of any for him.

Hmmmm88 · 06/03/2020 23:17

Yep remove yourself. (In the nicest possible way)

It might drive you mad but for some of us with underlying health conditions or elderly parents we need the info advice and reassurance.
