Those are healthy, wealthy people problems. Lots of problems disappear when you are rationing toilet paper.

Huge music festival in Mexico City last weekend. Other sources say 100,000 attended. Guns and Roses played per contract.

Peak Prosperity has some great insights on the hoarding topic. Their view:

You _should_ hoard if you are way ahead of the curve and prepping when nobody else is prepping.

But, if everyone is in a panic and there are shortages you should be generous, understanding of the real needs of others, and respectful, and only buy what you really need (which hopefully is very little since you already prepped).

Italy's PM Conte is now giving an extraordinary speech on #Coronavirus #Covid_19 to the nation - at 11.30 pm local time on Saturday (like in wartime).

He has just announced the immediate closure of all non-essential businesses and even more restrictions

From your link...

...It’s not clear whether U.S. manufacturers are significantly boosting their production of toilet and tissue paper to make up for the rolls that have been vanishing from the shelves as Americans prepare for a quarantine or fret that the product won’t be available later. Generally, manufacturers are trying to meet the new bump in demand without being stuck with a glut of product...

What. The. Heck???

TP is not a perishable product. At least not within a year.

Come on ‘Other US TP Manufacturers’....step it up!

39 years old. No one, no age is safe. This woman isn’t the only one who’s died before getting results. I know of several that are 6 days out.

Two days ago there was a limit in my California town of one gallon of milk and one carton of eggs per customer.

Just got back from shopping and that's still in effect.

The cashier posted a "limit per household" list at the checkout counter.

There were also signs posted all over the store.

“limit per household”

The wife goes through one cashier, the husband another, the six kids to six others. You know that’ll happen.
