I've seen that argument, and I'm sure it has some truth to it and may have been the main problem in some areas. However, where I live stores ran out of toilet paper (and hand sanitizer, and water, and diapers) a couple weeks before things started shutting down. I don't see how the commercial vs consumer grade toilet paper explains that.

Could this type of operation had something to do with it? https://www.smh.com.au/national/chinese-backed-company-s-mission-to-source-australian-medical-supplies-20200325-p54du8.html https://www.smh.com.au/national/chinese-backed-company-s-mis...

What timeline are you talking about? Also, toilet paper is probably traded over longer distances than you realize. Your area not shutting down yet, doesn't mean other areas weren't already affected?
