A lot of people in Australia are ‘going overboard’ because of

the Corona virus.

They are buying lots and lots of toilet paper. The news showed people in the supermarket fighting for toilet paper.

    We can see the same situation in Japan😂 I think most of the Japanese people know that there are enough stock of toilet paper, but they can't help buying it as they see the empty shelf...

    In Japan, the situation of toilet paper shortage is improving, because I could purchase toilet paper and sanitizing wipes at a supermarket today, but there was a limit to the number of items I could purchase. 日本では、今日、スーパーでトイレットペーパーと消毒用ティッシュを購入できたため、トイレットペーパー不足の状況は、改善されていますが、購入できる個数には、制限がありました。

    Hahaha, I know! It's bonkers! At first it was millennials nicking toilet paper due to living costs becoming too much, then this panic buying and yesterday a truck full of toilet roll toppled over, meaning the bridge was full of toilet paper, it rolls on this story
