stop the panic..supply trucks are arriving every day to replenish what the hoarders took..the hospitals are re-stocked with masks etc I saw the pallets piled up in Aurora at UCH complex.
in one week it won't be like this because the hoarders, hoarded.

"a pack of 30 rolls should last an average family for around three weeks"We think we have it bad?
Check this shit out, (pun intended) in Australia.
Ten rolls per week for an average family? WTF are they eating down there?

I find is oddly hilarious that ass-wiping the the most important thing to people in times of panic.
I needed to do it anyway, but went to my local hydro store and got the RO water filter system I've been delaying on for $120. No bottled water panic for me. Now I just need to get a home-based TP factory and I'm in the clear.

Ok I found some answers to why, but the solution appears to be temporary rationing and good old fashioned bitch slapping (verbal or otherwise) those with cartloads and panicked looks.. As usual it's Trump's fault...

The psychology behind why toilet paper, of all things, is the latest coronavirus panic buy
www.cnn.com
(CNN)Masks were the first to go. Then, hand sanitizers.
Now, novel coronavirus panic buyers are snatching up ... toilet paper?
Retailers in the US and Canada have started limiting the number of toilet paper packs customers can buy in one trip. Some supermarkets in the UK are sold out. Grocery stores in Australia have hired security guards to patrol customers.
An Australian newspaper went so far as printing eight extra pages in a recent edition -- emergency toilet paper, the newspaper said, should Aussies run out.
Why? Toilet paper does not offer special protection against the virus. It's not considered a staple of impending emergencies, like milk and bread are.
So why are people buying up rolls more quickly than they can be restocked?
Reason 1
People resort to extremes when they hear conflicting messages
Steven Taylor is a clinical psychologist and author of "The Psychology of Pandemics," which takes a historic look at how people behave and respond to pandemics. And compared to past pandemics, the global response to the novel coronavirus has been one of widespread panic.
"On the one hand, [the response is] understandable, but on the other hand it's excessive," Taylor, a professor and clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, told CNN. "We can prepare without panicking."
Fissures widen between White House and health agencies over coronavirus
The novel coronavirus scares people because it's new, and there's a lot about it that's still unknown. When people hear conflicting messages about the risk it poses and how seriously they should prepare for it, they tend to resort to the extreme, Taylor said.
"When people are told something dangerous is coming, but all you need to do is wash your hands, the action doesn't seem proportionate to the threat," he said. "Special danger needs special precautions."
Reason 2
Some are reacting to the lack of a clear direction from officials
Several countries have already imposed mass quarantines. People buying up toilet paper and other household supplies may be preparing for the same thing in their city, said Baruch Fischhoff, a psychologist and professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy and the Institute for Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University.
"Unless people have seen ... official promises that everyone will be taken care of, they are left to guess at the probability of needing the extra toilet paper, sooner rather than later," he told CNN. "The fact that there are no official promises might increase those probabilities."

Toilet paper does not offer special protection against the virus. It's not considered a staple of impending emergencies, like milk and bread are. So why are people buying up rolls more quickly than they can be restocked? There are several reasons.

Yeah I couldn't find Clorox/Lysol wipes so I come up with this instead - reusable/washable wipes and multisurface cleaner
I'm going back to the store again today to get a couple cans of coffee, coffee filters, another half gallon of alcohol and probably a couple cases of beer. If run I out of those things, it's going to get real ugly
it hasn't been a week, Bucky.
Vitamin Shoppe has their brand of Purell in stock. This is not gastrointestinal and there's no reasoning behind the toilet paper hoarding. it must be a 4CHAN rightie thing.
if you need gloves and mask, I can meet you in Denver somewhere..let me know.

i found bleach at the store yesterday
I can dip cloth rags in a 10% bleach solution if I run out of Clorox wipes
We still have 2.5 rolls of paper towels and 1.5 rolls of toilet paper. At 4 squares per wipe we should be ok for a while
