As to “hoarding”, it’s a myth….sorta. Manufacturers make two types of toilet paper, commercial and residential. The former cheaper one-ply on very large rolls, the latter softer, fluffier on smaller rolls. Because of very low profit margins, both are produced ‘just-in-time’ with very little stockpiled. Because of isolation, suddenly half of your market goes away and the other half grows exponentially. Adjustments are needed to work with shortages. Probably some hoarding but not as big a problem as just increased unexpected demand.
We’re making a plan of what supplies our small municipal office needs for 3 staff over 60-90 days for the next pandemic (which will happen) and suddenly supplies disappear from stores

In Germany idiots are stockpiling toilet paper, so there is already a shortage here in the shops.

I haven’t heard that COVID-19 gives you the runs, so why the near-hysteria over TP?

It is easy to know of what is important to Baldo. First, he wants a fully functional low rider. Second, it is Estella.
