OK what’s the deal with the run on toilet paper and water as the apparent cure for the Corona Virus. The line I witnessed wrapped around Costco’s opening this morning is a case in point. Mind you hundreds of customers with pallets not carts.

As for toilet paper … guessing a 14-day isolation period only justifies 4-5 rolls tops. A precautionary 48-hour self-isolation period likely requires 1 roll assuming 14 sheets an episode per industry recommendation. Come on people, slow the roll.

As for the run on water… global scientists agree that the Corona Virus has little to no effect on the normal operation of kitchen sink and tub faucets.
