rafterbr Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Who would have thought it? As a result of the coronavirous the most hoarded thing around the world at the moment is toilet paper. Received a call from my son-in-law in Germany. He is out of toilet paper and none of the stores has any. Same way with my home town in Oklahoma not a single store has any left. Looked on Amazon and they are sold out until late in April. Where is Sears and Roebuck when you need them? Maybe we will have to adopt the Eastern worlds way of using a water Bowl! jajaja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusMactavish Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Not all use TP. My recent visit to the Philipines made me aware when toilets didn't even have a dispenser, just a "Tabo" bucket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There is an inexpensive, easy to install gadget which converts your existing toilet into a bidet. If you want warm water though it means tapping another line into the junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogirl Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Why don't the stores limit the amount of things you can buy? They do it when there's a sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has everyone forgotten dried corn cobs? With Costco running out too bad their monthly fliers are so slick and clay coated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattoleriver Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I worked for the government for awhile. Their TP seemed to be of the clay coated variety, also, it ripped along the long axis. The government seemed to be the only ones who used that stuff. I'd like to apologize for what I just posted but, so far, I am two days into this self isolation and I am getting a little bored. Things may get weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 No shortage of tp at Soriana. SuperLake was out of Kirkland 2 ply on Saturday. Supplies of dog treats, well, that's another story... FYI I asked the cashier at Soriana this morning if she was taking any added precautions because of CV. She asked me what coronavirus was, hadn' t heard anything about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ComputerGuy Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Soriana was out of Kleenex the other day. SuperLake had Kirkland TP yesterday. I often ask the staff there, when shelves are empty, because they can be very slow in actually re-stocking from their own basement inventory.

To day we ventured out after 5 days of self isolation...I was thinking that the "place(s)" would be empty..well no, busy busy on the highway,....... Walmart parking lot packed...we did our shopping in Soriana , no shortage of paper goods and their parking lot was fuller than normal If there is a concern in Mexico for Corvis 19 the realization has not reached Lakeside and we may as well be on the Moon.

Alfa Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Why is there a run on toilet paper? As far as I have read, diarrhea is not one of the symptoms of the corona virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 In Holland there was a run on marijuana and on weapons in California and in Europe in general they had runs on toilet paper, pasta and rice.. go figure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 To address this .. question : Why is there a run on toilet paper? As far as I have read, diarrhea is not one of the symptoms of the corona virus I was just watching the news at a major station from the East Coast. They were interviewing a physician who was on home 'isolation' awaiting her test results. She said that she started out with Gastro-Intestional symptoms first, and a few days later the body / respiratory sympoms followed. She said that about 50% of the CV cases involve GI symptoms. If GI symptoms are involved, it makes it doubly important to be delligent about good hand-washing.. otherwise you will be dealing with an E.Coli infection and the CV infection. They asked her if she had taken care of any + CV cases or person presenting with CV symptoms, she said No ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
