The toilet paper shortage is real. But it should be brief.  (Washington Post, 3/13/2020)
No one is bold enough, however, to predict a certain date.  The sudden surge in demand is expected to subside and the supply will continue to grow as companies keep making toilet paper. About 90 percent of the toilet paper sold in the United States is made here, too, according to industry data. “We continue to manufacture and ship Charmin to our retailers,” a Procter & Gamble spokesman said in a statement, adding the firm has noticed the sale spike and was working to fix availability problems.
