Coronavirus Pandemic

As the threat of Coronavirus become more evident people are engaging in panic buying stocking on commodities from food to household cleaning items.

Uncertainty is part of the reason for this increased shopping. I can understand people wanting to make sure they have enough food supply in case they have to quarantine. What I cannot understand is the unnecessary shopping for toilet paper. What is the link between toilet paper and the virus. I saw one incident where one individual whi had a trolley full of cases of toilet paying engaged in a fight with anothet individual who just wanted one case. Can toilet paper cure the virus? This is so confusing. The bottom line is we all need to think of each other.
