I have toilet paper and lots of it cos I stay prepared for several months. You never know, the power grid, etc could cause a real crises. So we have this new flu, ok, it is the flu. The regular annual flu kills thousands of people every year and yet we just move on with our lives. Now the media and the hysteria they have caused have people freaking out. Really this is just another shiny object to keep Trump from getting re-elected, they will stop at nothing.
So many are confused as to why people are stocking up on TP, well the answer is simple, we have been warned we may be confined to our house for a couple of weeks or longer and no one wants to run out of TP and other things. Think about when a snowstorm hits, TP, milk, bread, eggs, alcohol and junk food are many items that are cleared off the shelves in a hurry. No one wants to run out of the essentials. However people learn to share.
My mom is in a senior facility and that little voice in my head (it was probably dad) said stock her up just in case, well just in case came Monday when they were told they were quarantined for an undetermined time. I told her if it came to it she should sell her TP for rent money and I would sneak her in more supplies in the back door.
Kids are out of school they will be using more TP. Stocking up is ok but hoarding and acting as if you are the only person on the earth is not. Learn to take only what you think you will need for a couple weeks and share with others.
This is going to cost our country trillions of dollars and it is just crazy. Stop the hysteria, go on with your life and you should be washing your hands anyway.
