All the Toilet Paper Has Been Wiped Out

We are told:

For the sake of others, we must work from home.

Don’t worry about toilet paper – they’ll make more.

We must ask:

Do toilet paper workers toil from home?

Oh boy, looks like we are in for quite a ride, not funny really. I do hope they keep the toilet paper flowing.

The deaths are so sad; the generalized behaviors of The People (bless their hearts) are often absurd and even harmful.

I know, and this has been going on for weeks! I only have 5 rolls left, and no face mask. And a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer. What to do? Haven't been to the store yet. Hope they're not out of emergency supplies.

I hear about panic buying, but have seen no evidence of it. Living as I do in Hurricania I am always well-stocked with life's necessities, including gasoline for escaping categories 3 and above. I am 70 clicks from the coast and so don't worry about cats 1 and 2.

Today I saw panic buying for the first time. Unnecessary and sad.
