Here is anothe reason proving the article is complete hogwash.
TP is not the only thing depleted. Why is Chlorox cleaner and dish soap all gone and shelves bare. You really think the demand for those increased 10 fold in a week’s time just because we are not washing our hands at work anymore? I mean, how many office workers use Chlorox bleach on the job or use Dawn dishwashing soap.
Or baby wipes or laundry detergent.
Sorry, the article is completely erroneous. Hoarding is why it took mere days for all of these products to have left store shelves completely bare for a month.
Are you wiping with leaves now?
Without knowing how long you will be confined to your home, whether or not you will be allowed to shop, whether or not the supply chain will hold, or whether or not stores will even be open, stocking up on a 2 to 4 month supply makes perfect sense.
But nobody takes the time to figure out how many rolls that means, and since TP doesnt spoil, is cheap, and will eventually be used, the sensible thing is to buy more than enough. So a few people do that, and everyone follows.
Perhaps the TP run could have been avoided with communication that stores would be open, but who would believe it?
I personally figured wed all be in total lockdown for 2 weeks, and was surprised grocery shopping is still allowed.
Cant find yeast. Cant figure that one out. Bread is plentiful and freezes well.
