Anyone knows what about the toilet paper running out of stores? (Miami: pharmacy, prices)

Oh boy, another 'media' caused this?? Trump said today if its 100k dead, he's good with that..

100k! that's an insane number of dead people in a short period of time.

and Cat 4 or 5 hurricanes kill people and destroy millions of dollars worth of property each year practically, better to over prepare than under??

From up North - get used to it. The first few days, my comments were like yours. "WTF?" "When's it back?" Etc.
That was a month ago. Believe me. It ain't coming back any time soon. It will show up in spurts - but there will be limits, 2 per customer, or whatever suits them.

I've noticed - talking to my relatives that live in Florida - the full impact of this hasn't hit there yet. You have more deaths than Ohio (per capita, too) - yet you are weeks behind on your preparation. Strange times.
Stay in your house. You are a carrier. If you go out now - you're just making it worse.

Results are 7-9 days lagging here for tests..we're not testing everywhere. Large counties like Collier, no drive up testing. Jax, Tallahassee, no drive up yet.

Jackson Hospital claims it violates HiPaa

Go to Walmart when they open, not senior day Tuesday, and you go in line at the back of the store. they are giving out a pack of toilet, tissues, paper towels and one bottle of hand sanitizer

Whats the Location of the Store ? ? ? ?

An interesting take on TP shortage:

-Offices, schools, restaurants, airports are virtually closed, so their consumption of (commercial) TP is zero.
-Families have increased their (residential) TP purchases because most people is at home the whole day.
-while their purpose is the same, commercial and residential TP are two distinct products, with different materials, different packaging, different supply chain / vendors.

Considering the above, the consequence is that supermarkets will keep running out of TP as long as the safer-at-home policy will last.

The Publix at the Hammocks and Paradise Lakes, All in SW Miami, out of all paper goods at opening time today.

So ridiculous !!!!!!

I actually do 95% of our shopping at trusty ALDI, and for the last 3 weeks paper goods missing in action have not been an issue at their Store we shop at. There are limits, but like the law, limits are needed to prevent gougin.

I just like walkin into Stores where I am not even buying a thing to see what their stocks look like.

We are still good with the 2 hand sanitizers we had when the run began, I feel they will be back on the shelves sooner than later, with the production started by one or two oil refineries, we should be in business quite pronto

Plenty of TP at Milam’s...also, picked up a 3-pack of disposable face masks there....Milam’s has become my favorite store, never would have gone there until reading a post on this thread. Thanks MMoB for mentioning it.

Milam's is a nice alternative, we go to the one on Useless 1 by Pinecrest 2-3 times a month.
