I got 14 days worth of food/essentials in case they shut us all down (already sports and amusement/many schools) but I don't understand cases of toilet paper. Maybe a big family? :-/I don't understand this run on toilet paper. Just left Kroger and cart after cart was loaded with Charmin. Is diarrhea a symptom of coronavirus?
We bought a couple or three extra weeks worth of essentials about 2 weeks ago, and set it aside for later use , just in case. Not using any of it until the sh!t hits the fan, so to speak.I got 14 days worth of food/essentials in case they shut us all down (already sports and amusement/many schools) but I don't understand cases of toilet paper.

Nope, it's reflexive panic buying. People buying because they see everybody else buying it and they are buying as much as they can, "just in case."I got 14 days worth of food/essentials in case they shut us all down (already sports and amusement/many schools) but I don't understand cases of toilet paper.

I was in a small market here in NY near my apartment, and there was some lady ahead of me that was buying 8 rolls and some snacks. The blood was not visible out the corner of my mouth but I could taste it.I don't understand this run on toilet paper. Just left Kroger and cart after cart was loaded with Charmin.

I did it because I knew what would happen. I remember the lines of people constantly filling their gas tanks in 1973 or 74.I got 14 days worth of food/essentials in case they shut us all down (already sports and amusement/many schools) but I don't understand cases of toilet paper.

It wouldn't surprise me if the cases grow, but it's probably been in the US likely mid December at the latest. This didn't arrive and blow up in one month. China knew about it since November and did little to stop the spread until mid-late January so I'm sure it made it's way across the world before most nations had much chance to do anything meaningful early on.
