There’s no toilet paper because people aren’t stupid. The government tells people to stay home and avoid crowds. The history of the virus shows that quarantine is a very real threat. Given the choice do we buy lots of toilet paper or do we run to the store every other day to get toilet paper?

When all this started my wife and I already had sixty rolls out in our garage as a normal habit of shopping for bargains. It's the same with food. I did buy a box of twelve bowls of Chef Boyardee and a case of ramen noodles at Costco just for warm fuzzies in the event of illness.

When I saw what was going down in China back in late january i purchased some emergency food supplies. Over the next month or so picked up a 45 pack of toilet paper, a case of ramen as well and lots of meat. The day of President Trumps speech to the nation about the virus I told the wife if there's anything else we need we need to get it before this speech. Got a lot of burger and chicken, cheese etc. Glad we did. Don't have to really go to the store for the next 3 or 4 months if we don't want to.
