Not sure why TP is so popular for “panic mode”...

The United States is the worlds top IMPORTER of TP ($2.29B)

China is the worlds largest EXPORTER of TP ($2.84B)

On the plus side, if you run out of food, you won't need much TP. On the minus, if your prep closet is full of canned chili and no tp, well... I always keep at least a month or two on hand, but if my wife is told to work at home, well, I better go get more.

Yep we import a lot of TP, but fortunately most of it comes from Indonesia?? and Canada. These 2 are not yet COVID-19 hotspots so imports should continue? Unless truckers and rail workers start getting sick I guess.

And there are paper towels, for real men.
