flying squid Posted March 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Oregon Police Remind Residents: Don't Call 911 If You Run Out Of Toilet Paper https://www.npr.org/2020/03/17/817205813/oregon-police-remind-residents-dont-call-911-if-you-run-out-of-toilet-paper The coronavirus has not been kind to supplies of toilet paper. Along with the obvious items, such as hand sanitizer and other disinfectants, the rolls of tissue have been increasingly hard to find at local markets, as people stock up to hunker down during the global pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonwick Posted March 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This is the sad state that we are in! These same people who hoard supplies, continue to go out! They are only furthering the problem. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted March 21, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It interests me in what people think hoarding the toilet paper does. We buy a big Costco sized pack every couple months anyway. So we have plenty. Even with 4 people using the TP, we use just a couple rolls a week. Why would people need to hoard hundreds of rolls? If it's the expectation of it never coming back... That seems stupid. If it's the thinking their going to be using two rolls every day... That seems stupid too. If it is just wanting to be prepared... Then why is there still laundry soap, bottled water, beef jerky, cereal, and lots of other things not being hoarded? It's a interesting phenomena. Here in Oregon we have people call 911 for the darnist things. Theres been lots of calls here where I live to 911 of people coughing, or sneezing, in public. Police have to respond. They'll send a trained person over to evaluate the cough/sneeze offender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted March 21, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2020 As I've said before, this is a First World problem. 70-75% of the world's population don't use toilet paper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted March 22, 2020 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'd only feel guilty if I bought a 24 roll pack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
