Toilet paper was out at our local Sams Club and Kroger.
What makes people think gobs of toilet paper will help them if they get sick??
MORE than weird!!
The rationale behind that is that IF their city/county is hit hard with coronoa, having stocks of toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, etc., on hand will prevent them from having to go out when the virus is more widespread and putting them more at risk. It will enable them to isolate themselves and their families if necessary.
We now have 3 cases in my county -- toilet paper, hand sanitizer, hand soap, bleach, alcohol, cold medicine, aspirin, ramen (sp?) noodles, soups, water, etc., are scarce. I've never seen shelves so bare, even during hurricane season.
