I'm going to sell toilet paper by the sheet on ebay. I'm having a max purchase of 62 sheets which I can mail in a standard envelop.

I get that, but we had no plan. Nothing. Caught completely with our pants down. In spite of infectious disease experts sounding the alarms for years. We can't even keep toilet paper in stock.

Who the hell would have thought people would run out and buy toilet paper when this does not even give you the runs? I agree we need a system kind of like what we did after 9/11 but for infectious disease.

We HAD a system, trying not to go political but that system was dismantled and literally shut down in 2018 bc .. ya know.

The cuts started in 2018, as the White House focused on eliminating funding to Obama-era disease security programs. In March of that year, Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer, whose job it was to lead the U.S. response in the event of a pandemic, abruptly left the administration and his global health security team was disbanded.

That same year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was forced to slash its efforts to prevent global disease outbreak by 80% as its funding for the program began to run out.

My local Costco has a line just to get in the door too.

The Food Lion up the street is sold out of TP, paper towels, but don't worry nobody's buying the hand soap!

There is a reason for that and it has nothing to do with a virus. It's the way your grocery store(stores) do business.

Same here I went to three different stores today for normal stuff and the stores were out. The virus isn't in our drinking water but bottled water is all gone as is toilet paper and ....chicken,not steaks or pork chops but no fucking chicken to be found anywhere!

Same here . Costco at least has their own version of products which are pretty good with the KirKland brand so they should be able to restock quickly but most other grocery stores will be shit out of luck if they use a third party supplier and most do.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)

Like others not trying to get political, but when people here and elsewhere are saying how unprepared we are/were, can we see how the numbers work out at the end. We were woefully unprepared for ww1 and ww2 but by bringing the american private sector(the greatest single market engine on this planet) together with government we pushed out in short order an amazing fighting force. At this moment we have a very low affect rate per million (5.5) vs most european countries. Between local government stepping up like they should and asking citizens to act responsibility, and our private sector being freed my guess is when we see the final numbers of europe vs us deaths which is the ultimate goal - to prevent deaths. I am a proud US citizen and what I see outside of the toilet paper shortages is every sector and every person pulling together to keep this country's death toll minimized without going to marshall law or abridging our rights.

New York Warns Alex Jones Against Selling Bogus Anti-Coronavirus Toothpaste

According to the Huffington Post, Jones made a claim about the “nanosilver” inside of his toothpaste brand, which he has claimed kills viruses in the coronavirus and SARS family.

“The patented nanosilver we have, the Pentagon has come out and documented and Homeland Security has said this stuff kills the whole SARS-corona family at point-blank range,” Jones said on-air Tuesday. “They’re still discounted despite all the hell breaking loose.”

This guy is the biggest piece of shit...

I figured some of us know places that sell toilet paper that most people don't know about. Nobody I know needs any so I figured I would check for the hell of it. Holy crap! One of my secret sources says delivers in April, the other 1-3 weeks. So the whole USA is out of toilet paper till next month? I wonder if those sources were bought out by people looking to take advantage of the situation as
I would just consider them a convenience source on items like toilet paper as their prices are probably the same or higher than a supermarket, even on bulk purchases.

The places were Uline and McMaster-Carr, shocked even they are out.

Also supported my local Chinese food place for lunch today. They weren’t busy.

Also, can confirm all TP out at local store.
Drove past a roadside diner yesterday that is about the size of a Denny's and it is always packed from 7 am - 5pm. Yesterday around noon there might have been 3 cars in the parking lot.
