COVID Panic—Where is all the toilet paper? Hoarding in San Antonio

COVID Panic—Where is all the toilet paper?
Hoarding in San Antonio

Been to the store lately? Hopefully not.
That was a trick question – stay home
folks! So, let’s talk toilet tissue. Why on
earth is everyone panic- buying toilet
paper?
As creatures that feel the need to be
prepared and take care of ourselves
through tough times, when we often
will rush out and stock up on things
such as bottled water and canned and
dry goods when we get information on an approaching storm or possible season
of unfavorable weather.
So, why not add this to our prize panic possessions? Our fearful nature that is so
deeply rooted in us that it can cause us to evaluate and choose what other items
we deem worthy of stock piling. Since we all share this same essential bodily
function, it may seem only natural to want to grab up all the two ply you lay your
eyes on. Try your best not to do that.
Even though, as you have probably seen on the local news, there is no shortage of
delivery trucks coming in to drop off supplies to our grocery stores. No shortage
of the incoming toilet paper, so if everyone would just stop over buying and
creating the problem, we all would be okay.
Just remember that we have to share our community with others and that when
you panic-buy and over purchase, you may be taking much needed items from
someone in dire need like an elderly person or someone with children. So, fear
not San Antonio, more toilet paper is on the way, buy what you need and think
about the rest of our community in need.
Stay well and stay home.
