Oh come on, at present WITHOUT a vaccination solution THIS IS the solution they have to TRY their best to stop the spread and Australia going down the same road and piling up a Death Toll as high as the U.S. and other countries.
Yes I agree that the panic buying of shithouse paper is utterly ridiculous and totally needless,YES, there needs to be better organisation when it comes to Supermarkets, etc in times like these and in future virus outbreaks which, imo, will occur.
And they definitely need to re-consider their arcane ideas re- Testing Stations as well imo.
As to the Dunny paper stampeders and the Supermarkets, well a bit of common sense will go a very long way, ALL Supermarkets can and should a) place limits on BOTH essentials and non-essentials as soon as outbreaks are discovered and the Authorities SHOULD INFORM them as soon as the discover them, b) place limitations on the number of customers who can be in store at the same time, c)have every customer register when entering and then leaving plus have a member of Staff watch the security cameras to see who enters and leaves and ensure that no customer returns in the same day/period of the day and re-purchases the same goods as they left with earlier.
But, imo, the BIGGEST problem by far in this crisis is the Federal Government moaning and whining about the State of the Economy.
I say what good is having a strong economy when there's a virus that has no problems with killing thousands or millions, what happens with your strong economy when there are very few people left to spend money to support it.
Hence, BUGGER the Economy, worry about and support the PEOPLE first and foremost, THEY are Important.

You ain't seen nuttin' yet!

But if you don't spring it on people, then they go out and party it up "on their last night of freedom". The problem is that people are fucking stupid and won't do what's best for them no matter what, not that you have a governing body that leans one way or the other.
