A columnist in The Toronto Sun wrote about this today. He said at his local Shoppers Drug Mart the owner was telling him they cannot keep Toilet Paper on the shelves but items like bottled water canned goods etc are not selling He also mentioned the amount of folk that are resisting or ignoring Directives From The Health Board Toilet Paper is not going to determine whether one becomes ill or not
As a side I have a habit of hording Toilet Paper and Kleenex. Drives my other half nuts. Has nothing to do with this Crisis I have been doing it for years. I love when No Frills has their Specials. If the levels get down to a certain level I get antsy go out and come home with months worth of both. Not sure what got me into doing this or why

Every January our SaveOn Foods has a caselot sale, and I buy canned soup, baked beans, diced tomatoes, apple juice and corn.
It takes until about August to run out, by which time we are eating fresh Canadian grown produce.
But I do have a makeshift pantry in the house. (No basement)

A thought crossed my mind that many of the larger EU countries might be days or weeks away from major major problems. I honestly don't know .... are the Italian mail carriers delivering door to door at the moment?
Poste Italiane is still running, but with reduced service levels.

The place to check for mail problems is the Canada Post website.

Delivery to Mongolia is suspended.
Significant delays: Saudi Arabia, Italy, China, Hong Kong, Macao

Very nice. Let's see now, looks to be 12 rows or so high, maybe an average of 8 rolls each, don't see much sense in being stingy there ... even at a roll a day that'll last well into June!
