Part of the shortage is due to retail being the only distributor of paper products over the past 2-3 months. With most businesses being shut down, most of the paper usage is in homes, thus additional supply is needed. Same goes for other products like food items......restaurants closed, eating at home. The demand shift was not expected by suppliers and retailers. Then again, the addition of some people hoarding just addes to the shortages. Paper products in retail outlest are hit and miss, but are there, just not all the time.
