Women can use up amazing amounts of TP. Add the fact that they are now confined to the house and don't go at school or at work, you could easily use 1/2 a roll a day per female. 4 women will use 14 rolls a week. So if someone buys 50 rolls, that isn't excessive at all to prepare for being quarantined. Women in my family are generally pretty good but I have seen some crazy usage with visitors where you wonder WTF is going on!?

TP would not be my priority stocking up and I certainly would not fight over it. As long as you have hot water and a washing machine you are all set on hygiene. You are home all day, so take a shower any time or do laundry!

Just great. I actually need toilet paper.

I live in northern Italy close to Milan. Went shopping today. Plenty of food and toilet paper. Yes, not many people because of the quarantine but plenty of food.

The quarantine here is not that you can’t completely leave your home. You can go to work if you cannot work from home and you can go to the grocery store. Restaurants and other places are closed so people don’t congregate.

Thanks,,, That’s reassuring that the supply chain is still functioning. Im in Amelia Island, only one case positive in Nassau county. People here are stocking up. Not sure what to expect

The virus is serious but not unlike many other viruses- my wife studied this stuff in school and isn’t too concerned. The problem here is that there’s a lot of elderly people and everyone smokes.

Vash,
Have you considered moving away from shoes and to sandals? That could buy you a few weeks.

I have a bit of off topic question. What did people do 2-300 years ago after they go?

Same as your dog does on your carpet.
Do you want a picture?

I think to find hand sanitizer, TP, etc you're going to have to try Costco.com or Amazon. Maybe restaurant supply like Webrestaurant or maybe Smart & Final.

Costco is out. You need someone with the ins at the outlets to know when it is coming in. Amazon has some, but delivery is in April.

Jeez, the big commercial rolls are 10-15.00 each now online.

And here's a fun fact: I've been putting the ass gaskets on the toilet seat the wrong way. The flappy part goes in the front. No wonder they always fall into the bowl.
