People are acting like morons.
“What we know about the coronavirus is that it is orders of magnitude more deadly than the flu...”
OK, Doomer.
Take a quick shower.
Hard to believe that FR has two threads on Toilet paper!!!!!!

If you put this in perspective, it shows exactly why I’m so down on my fellow Americans.
It’s a pandemic. Diarrhea is not one of the common symptoms. Before stores run out of food, (milk, bread, eggs}, before stores run out of cleaning supplies, before stores run out of hand sanitizer, they run out of toilet paper.
In a crisis, the first thing that many Americans think of is wiping their butt!!!
I really dislike people.
It’s INSANE! I went to my local Stop & Shop supermarket and the toilet paper shelves were totally EMPTY.
I went back this morning, and they were still empty. So I spoke to customer service who told me that they get toilet paper deliveries EVERY DAY and they sell out immediately.
So tomorrow I will be there at 7am (opening time) to get some. Hope there will be eome available by that time. I have enough to get me through the next few weeks, but the panic buying now has ME panic buying.
There was a black grandma with her grandson at Walmart. I walked up to her and said, “You know the scariest part of this? Everyone is buying all of the toilet paper, but nobody’s buying any toothpaste.”
She laughed.
I will tell you what. Talked to my friends still in the timber business up in the UP of MI.
They said they cant get the wood to the pulp mills fast enough.
Business is GOOOOOOOD!
The government will have to start rationing it like they did sugar, gasoline, etc. in WWII.
Of course people would be trading their TP ration books on the street.
I had a relative who was a teenager during the Depression, and there was definitely deprivation in the house. One thing she did for the rest of her life - it was a long one - was keep an astounding supply of toilet paper on hand in one closet. As a little kid, I found it funny... but come what may, she was NOT going to run out of TP.
It’s funny. We buy those big packs of toilet paper at Costco, lasts a long time.
And, I was at Costco more than a year ago so I called my wife and said anything we need at Costco? She thinks and says toilet paper, among other things.
So I get one. Turns out we didn’t need more, we had two in the garage already. It’s easy to forget what you’ve bought off the top of your head.
So I’ve still got two of those big packs in the garage.
I wonder how much I can sell some for?
Garden hoses can be used as “outdoor” bidets. No shite!
This is hysterical acting idiota at work. The flu doesn’t even cause loose guts.
Call the uh oh squad. Please disregard the actual...numbers, or any of the words of actual EXPERTS lifetimes in their field. No-— follow the teeeee veeee!
Emphasis is on HAD. I bought the last two rolls.
When I was a kid there was a show starring Chuck Connors called “Branded” we used to sing these lyrics to the music:
Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl
What can you do when your stranded,
And you need another roll?
But wherever you go for the rest of your life...
You must prove, you’re a man use your hand
Given the partial knowledge of the WuHuFlu [WooHooFlew here at FR?] to date, it might be best to just partition off the over 65 crowd from the rest of society until the young’ins develop herd immunity.
And then let oldsters rejoin general society [which can soldier on in the interim].
Nothing says security and safety to me more than a year’s supply of arse wipe.
Black market TP coming to your area!
