The wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that she's facing the same problems as millions of other Californians who are dealing with empty store shelves, closed schools and home confinement as social distancing measures take hold to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“One rose amidst all of this — family dinners and no late night homework stress," tweeted Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who has four young children. “And nice to not have kids shuffling home late from sports and activities. And yes, unfortunately the thorn — we run out of toilet paper, paper towels, and Kleenex tomorrow. I wish people had not hoarded."

She can do what the religion of peace does: use her hand.
She has a can of water with pebbles in the bottom, right?

The TP crisis is over.

The local Sam’s Club has inventory.

We’re good for a couple of months.

scraps of newspaper work perfectly fine as a substitute for toilet paper.

A fun fact - before toilet paper was invented, the Sears Roebuck catalog was the go to ‘toilet paper’ of the wild west.

I don’t like her because of her rude and crude remarks about the president, but this is not a big deal. So she expressed a little frustration at running out of tissue. Big Deal.
She is entitled to complain just like anybody else.
No need to ‘throw rocks’ at her online about this.
