That definitely caused the TP "crisis" but it was sustained by lag on the supply side. Paper manufacturing was tooled up to make "commercial" toilet paper, which saw an immediate drop in demand when we suddenly stopped going to the office. Manufacturers had to re-tool for residential toilet paper, which saw an immediate and sustained rise in demand.
In retrospect, I'd say that the first wave of people overstocking TP weren't totally irrational.
