What a horrible article, with yet another incredibly naive and short-sighted analysis. This focuses on "there's plenty of supply of TP" and ignores all questions of access to that supply. It ignores all issues of nth order effects, network effects, issues of mobility, distribution, etc., and just blindly assumes "well, if the plants are making it, people can access it."
In reality, you probably don't need to buy enough TP to last a year or more. But equally so, it's hardly a bad idea, or a sign of "panic" to buy a few extra packs. I mean, we are facing the advent of a global pandemic, about which there are still many unknowns due to dodgy data, etc.
