Why there will soon be tons of toilet paper, and what food may be scarce, according to supply chain experts

Stuck rationing toilet paper because you didn't stockpile during the coronavirus panic over the last few days? Don't worry, according to supply chain experts.

"All the grocery stores are going to have pallets of toilet paper sitting in the aisles and nobody is going to buy it because who needs to buy toilet paper when you got a year's worth sitting in your garage," Daniel Stanton, a supply chain expert and author of "Supply Chain Management for Dummies," tells CNBC Make It. But what about food? Even if the COVID-19 pandemic stretches over months (President Donald Trump said it could last until August), there will no big food shortages, especially on staples like milk, eggs, cheese, bread and meat, according to three supply chain experts who spoke to Make It.

Back in the early 50’s my Mother used to get horse meat at the market, we all thought it was pretty damn good.

I remember those days; it was very lean, and flavorless....more like venison, than anything.

How many times have kids “TP”ed a house.

Role after role of soft toilet paper tossed into the trees and bushes.

Don’t know where your located, but I have a few older hens that aren’t as productive as they used to be.
Come on up and give me a bid on them, minimum 2 dollars a bird.

My SIL in north central CT said there is no chicken or hamburger in her grocery stores.

Some places are already limiting amounts of meat people can purchase to stave off hoarding.

Drinking ‘DISTILLED WATER” is not a good idea, it pulls the minerals out of your bones and body in general.

Water is not called the “UNIVERSAL SOLVENT” for nothing.

I was just at King Soopers and it was full up.

I saw one guy, a senior like me, at the grocery store with 6 gallons of milk in his cart, bragging to his wife over his cell phone about his purchase. Unless they have a half dozen or more grand children, that milk will just go sour and to waste before it gets used. Maybe he was buying for his neighbors, and jackin up the price? Silly.

That makes sense.
Foodstuffs going to restaurants are way down in volume.
That grub is going to be redirected to retail, although it takes time to do this, especially with packaging.
