New York As the coronavirus pandemic spreads, households across the country are hunkering down and emptying out store shelves.
Toilet paper has a become the ultimate symbol of the panic buying; it's seemingly scooped up as soon as new rolls hit the shelves.Companies that help supply these everyday paper products are stunned and trying to adjust to this rapidly evolving new normal in consumer behavior.They're faced with tradeoffs. Many were already operating their manufacturing facilities 24/7 prior to the pandemic. Now, some are limiting their facilities to essential workers and contractors.
NeilFlochMD Yes because now instead of using their brains, they use their butt
Toilet paper is being wiped out.
Stupid is as stupid does!
In difficult times, this made me chuckle. Try reading it without singing along! 😂
That’s because people panic after tuning in to FakeNews and their load of crap.
Who knew Toilet Paper would be the Tickle Me Elmo of this virus.
toilet paper is not that popular in my country.. we use water sprinkler, or mostly using our left fingers (and was them afterwards).. 😅
It’s called shit for brains, it’s what you get from believing the bullshit that’s peddled from Opinion News such as FakeNewsCNN and other MSM.
No supply chain can handle widespread panic buying.
Why can't these toilet paper maker factories turn into mask maker factories?
Buy a big pack of white washcloths. They can be washed in the washing machine like mothers used to do with diapers.
Dutch people are wiping with tulips.
Monkey see, monkey do. The dumbest among us. It’s great watching natural selection at work.
I would think after everyone is well stocked it would level out
Get hand showers installed in your toilets. Save paper, forget panic.
Isn’t it amazing that the Government taxes NEEDS!
Anderson cooper is Toilet Paper of CNN. 10million a year? How trashy payment of money is it for “um..i mean..u know..”
CNN did more research on this than the Obama Administration allowing 3 independent contractors to look at raw data from the NSA's data base. They were targeting individuals just like the IRS was doing. Adm. Mike Rogers, testified to Congress that this happened.
Every normal person is stunned.
Zero risk bias
These industries thank CNN for causing this mass hysteria and panic.
Then why are some people hoarding soda, and not just soda in general, but certain flavors of certain brands? The other flavors they leave alone while emptying the space next to it.
What you in the USA are dealing with is a shit scenario!
Well Trump turned my regular medication hydroxychloroquine into another toilet paper hoarding.
In a Few Months From Now it Will be Cheap AF..
Ne ne-ne ne boo boo
My Proctor and Gamble stocks are soaring!
Proving people really are insane...
Didn't get any
Hundreds of Gazans have returned home in the past two weeks, but only 92 people have been examined, highlighting the territory's limited tested capacity. coronavirus CoronaVirusSA
Goshhh saves a lot!!!
“Uncharted.” Hong Kong. February 6, 2020.
People are silly
This is a grocery store in Northern California. No Toilet paper or paper towels insight 🤒EMPTY 😳🧐
Use a mug instead. This isn’t a necessity. Half of the world doesn’t use toilet paper & that’s even more hygienic 😀
There will be a lot of toilet paper companies going out of business next year because people have been buying for ten years.
2020 CORRUPTION HAS APPEARED ON THE LAND
Get these stop toilet paper usage completely. Dry off with washable cloth..save the trees
Meglio un bel bidet, magari con del sapone delicato
安屎之乱
The selfishness is uncharted, too. I saw a young woman take the last two remaining packs of toilet paper in front of a little old man who couldn't reach for them fast enough. She said, 'I have (indistinct) at home. I hope you understand.' She couldn't give him one of the packs.
But what they r going to do with toilet paper..😀😀
Why isn't cnn reporting on this?
A few months from now, when people are on facebook trying to unload all of that toilet paper they overbought, I would ask my fellow citizens to ignore them, let these people eat their losses as punishment for their greed and inconsideration of their neighbors.
What if I told you it was actually the toilet paper that was going to 'hit the fan'
Panic is more horrible than epidemic itself!
Buy Kleenex folks. Many stores still have that. I can’t figure out why the tp industry cant keep up. It’s pretty basic.
CNN IS GARBAGE
It’s new, but it’s definitely not normal
I just don't understand...we would still be allowed to go to the store.
Is diarihah a symptom of the Virus?
Well! Not just panic, most menn are working from home which significantly raised the turnover of online porn. The more porn the more toilet paper 😊
How freaking difficult is it to MAKE MORE TOILET PAPER? And stop hoarding, you damn opportunistic leeches out there!
they believe it's more important than masks.
Are people planning to eat toilet paper there 🤦♂️
can anyone explain why toilet paper is selling well. Does the virus cause diarrhea?
Everyone is panicked and shitting themselves and therefore need more toilet paper. It's not rocket science.
It’s honestly ridiculous 🤦🏻♀️ and to the ppl who buy 6 7 packs at a time shame on you especially when there is such a shortage right now!
