Working from home = more poos and wees at home. Less consumption of industrial deliveries of toilet paper to companies, much higher home consumption from super markets.
So again, not a panic, but a legitimate, overnight, shift in toilet paper consumption habits that resulted in a long lasting shortage of toilet paper in the supermarket JIT supply system. They were not prepared for a jump of 50-100% more home toilet paper consumption.
No panic, but a simple explanation of the shift in consumption from industrial, bulk deliveries of toilet paper to your company office, to buying more of your own at the supermarket.
Yes, there were some opportunists and crazies with a shopping cart full, but they don't explain why it took months for shelves to finally get fully stocked.
