Think about this....
The Wuhan Coronavirus is a respiratory disease. Not a stomach flu or bowel disease. So why all of the toilet paper?
When your sick with the flu you do not eat. Nothing going in nothing coming out! So why all of the toilet paper?
Remember what mom said, Feed a cold, starve a fever. If you are not eating why do you need all of the toilet paper?
When you go to the store the toilet paper aisle is cleaned out but the shelves with all of the food are still full! If your not stuffing yourself full of food why do you need all of that toilet paper?
Marketing! The Marketing Departments are going to get one hellava bonus this Christmas.

I don't believe the marketing dept will get a bonus. The product is just selling real well now. In a couple of months they won't be selling any. It will all average out.
There is one on Ebay selling TP, and it's been posted by some folks on a couple of forums I've seen. If they don't read the fine print... they'll prove themselves fools.

I think people are worried that they will have to quarantine (voluntarily or involuntarily) in place for long periods of time, and will run out of supplies.
I am constantly amazed by how little of food, TP, medicine, soap, etc. that people keep on hand. My MIL for instance, goes grocery shopping THREE times a week, every week. Why not buy enough for a week or two in just one trip? Makes no sense to me, but then very little of what the general public does makes any sense to me either.

We live 20 miles from a full-line grocery store. We do a major shopping trip once a month. Check-out gals usually assume we live on one of the off-shore islands (we don't). $600-$700 worth of groceries at a whack.
We also have a pantry in the basement with shelves full of non-perishables like paper towels, TP, canned goods, laundry and cleaning supplies, bottled water etc.
Of course, I'm one of those weirdos that keeps his vehicles full of gas, has a whole-house generator with 100 gallons of propane and a 275 gallon tank of diesel in addition to the tank of furnace oil in the basement and a raft of firewood stacked under cover.

I saw a lady yesterday with the bottom half of her shopping cart full of bottled water and then topped off with TP. I have no idea whether she was happy or desperate??

Kinda like the reloading primer and .22 cartridge "shortages" that we had a few years ago. Idiots caused the shortage because they were hoarding, and the manufacturers "jacked up" prices never returned to normal. They found out what we were willing to pay and kept the price there.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Elaine was in the can and ran out of paper. She asked the one in the neighboring stall if she could "spare a square" and held her open hand under the stall. The lady refused.
Why all the TP? ... someone coughs ... everyone in the immediate vicinity c@#%s in their pants!

I think the TP run was caused by a bad message translation from italy about the Sh.. hitting the fan over there!

My shepherd does that. If she finds paper on the floor, she has to shred itEven looks guilty.

Surely you guys know that tp can be used as a mask if wrapped around the head. Just don't go out in the rain!!!
I'd be in serious trouble if mine did that! First the cat knocks the income tax papers on the floor, then the dog eats the 1099s.My shepherd does that. If she finds paper on the floor, she has to shred it
