A new shipment was anticipated in 10 to 14 days.
As a family, we decided to hold it for 10-14 days until some more TP comes back in stock. Just like our decision not to drink diet soda now. Easy.

You are on to something. From What we learnt from the 2009 swine-flu pandemic With the H1N1, older people had cross-protection (the H1N1 was similar to the 1919 Spanish flu). So this higher than average death rate virus might modify for many years. When it does, the people who get this new flu early might obtain enough cross-protection.

If we knew the virus wouldn't kill us, I'll take it now, please. But even if sepsis doesn't take you out (again; 1/3 of the people who get sepsis will) you often permanently damages our organs. Putting it another way, it would be interesting to know how many people that lived after being released from the hospital after contracting the coronavirus had permanent health issues.

While we are doom-and-gloom mode, it's a very good time to understand how well your hospital deals with sepsis. The hospital compliance rate is horrible! As in, the average is 49%. So if you are wondering why so many people drop like flies, read https://zaggocare.org/why-sepsis-dan...hoC3VYQAvD_BwE . The point is, patients who received appropriate care for severe sepsis and septic shock are in better shape than those who do not. Anyone who has been involved with long term hospital care knows that care can be weak to poor. You need an advocate who has a logical and technical brain plus making sure you get timely care. So it's a good idea to make sure you pick a hospital NOW that has a better score. Plugin your zip code on this medicare site. https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html For you, you may not want to land in Goodyears Abrazo Campus because they got poor scores.

All of our small stores like Riteaid and .99 cent stores still have plenty just not the big box stores.

I don't get the fear of running out of TP either. If you run out, so what? Get in the shower and clean yourself.
Apparently some influencer/talking head/"expert" opined that if orders for no movement are issued that those people who work for water suppliers won't be able to go to work at the water facilities.

For those who have individual wells the same logic is being applied to the power plant workers not going to work.

Eh, just do what they did in the old days: Wipe with a page out of the Restoration Hardware catalog.

Back in the day, JCPenny's and the Sears catalog too. But those retailers are wobbling... No Amazon pages to use.

But there is no need to go down that path (catalog pages). I suspect the "intellectually-challenged" folks are done hogging the TP supply. Next up, batteries. Soon, antibiotics for pneumonia will be out of stock at border towns. Mark my words.

Yeah, that was the gist of my joke.

Don't go to Mexico to buy antibiotics. You can't buy antibiotics in the border towns. They are restricted.
