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

They don’ need no stinkin’ distancing.
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).

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!
Coming to a nation near you?
...there was a limit in my California town of one gallon of milk and one carton of eggs per customer.

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.
To think it took thousand of people dying to end those nasty bags.
Guessing it wasn’t sugar free.
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.
this country will drown in TP and the glut will put more than one out of business.
because of stupid people.
They don’t look like it was sugar free.
(and I’m a zaftig kind of gal)
“limit per household”
The wife goes through one cashier, the husband another, the six kids to six others. You know that’ll happen.
