Raging Flu Cases In Aus Have Led To Tissue Shortages I’m Having 2020 Toot Paper Flashbacks

It’s our first winter in two years without strict COVID restrictions and influenza cases are well and truly spiking. The supply can simply not keep up with the snotty demand, and Coles, Woolworths and, in some reports, Aldi, have some seriously empty tissue shelves as a result right now. It reeks of 2020 toilet paper drama, to be honest.  And just like that year we try not to speak of but consistently speak of, there are other products that are hard to get your hands on right now, too.

I thought, "there's a cold going around" was just a thing people said, but when I went to woolies for tissues and panadol, both sections were almost entirely empty
