![]() 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.
