WHY hoard toilet paper? It's from Canada. I can't imagine there would be actual shortages of trucks bringing it into the US.

Exactly. The virus does not cause diarrhea, and TP can't be used as a respiratory filter.

I read this thread at the exact same time I was talking on the phone and the person mentioned he had just stocked up. No one seems to know why they are hoarding this.

Because people are idiots and think some sort of zombie apocalypse is coming where you won't even be able to leave your house. Like, can people really not live without toilet paper? It's not essential. If you had to you could just use an old pair or underwear and rewash it. A lot of people use re-usable/washable nappies for their kids so it's not a big deal. This whole coronavirus thing is just turning me into a bigger misanthrope. It's going to do more damage to the economy than it does to people.
