I had to shop for half a day to get a few gallons of Distilled water for her CPAP machine, which requires ONLY distilled water. Others had the same idea and stocked up. This is NOT a mental illness. This is folks attempting to be prepared and do NOT wish to be around other folks any more than necessary, for fear of catching a DEADLY virus. The less folks are out and about, the faster this thing will go away. Yes, it is a bummer that the stores cannot get shipments of TP in fast enough. They should know by now that they have a special situation and should be adjusting to the demand. How many of you wish to stand in line for hours, just to get inside a grocery store? That is what is happening at several stores in the area.
Instead of sympathizing/empathizing with scared folks, some on here find the need to criticize and complain about anyone that does not see things like they do. Some of the same ones that complain, will be the same ones that insist that everyone GIVE their stimulus money away to others, instead of using it for what it's purpose is....to stimulate the economy so that we don't drop into a depression. Suit yourself, but complaining without a solution is non-productive and a waste of time.

Thanks for making the point, those that really need it because of the points you made can't because those that don't have the need continue to buy.
As far as manufacturers of TP, here is a news story on one in Sanford.
