I don't understand why toilet papers are being targeted by hoarders and panic buyers in other countries. Okay, I get it, they are accustomed to using it in cleaning themselves after using the CR. But there are some points that people should understand:
1. We shouldn't hoard or panic buy the basic needs during these hard times. I'm not sure if people are aware of the community immunity especially in times when an virus outbreak/pandemic. It's not about YOURSELF, it's about US. Give your neighbors access to these basic needs because if everyone's healthy and safe from the virus, then the virus will stop spreading.
2. Toilet papers don't protect you from the virus. Viruses and bacteria tend to stay on surfaces that we touch or use. The most appropriate way of protecting yourself from these viruses and bacteria is to stay healthy and clean. One of the best ways to minimize the chance of getting infected with the COVID-19 is by washing your hands with soap and running water (but this doesn't mean that you have to hoard soaps again). You'll understand this if you try to research about the structure of a virus and bacteria, and the components of soap that can kill (or inactivate) the virus.
3. Be a responsible member of your community. Follow the directives of your government. If they ask you to stay at home, then you should stay at home.

I think it's just fear that makes others want to buy if they see it because of scarcity. I went to the grocery store the other day when there were no cases in my area and had to wait an hour to just get through the checkout line.
Well, I went to Wal-mart this weekend. While I was there, they put out 1 pallet of toilet paper. They announced over the intercom that toilet paper was put out. There were not too many people there, so it wasn't madness. Many shelves were empty. There were no eggs. Milk was low. The meat section was ravaged. No frozen pizza, few canned items, no soup, bread low. I have enough food, for now. However, I will probably have to go back out next weekend to replenish my supply. We will see what I will continue to go without. The ramen not being in stock was a real bummer. I only have four packages left, and will go through noodle withdrawals.
Boy, I didn't realize that toilet paper is such a coveted item. Tried to order some this weekend with my grocery store delivery, no dice. Waited to get some today, store shelf empty. Called one store, nope. Called another store, got lucky. However, I only bought one package of 12. The clerk asked me if I wanted more. I hope that I didn't make a crucial error. Although, I am sure cloth rags and frequent showers will work. Or is running water going to be in short supply soon, too? How long, exactly, are people expecting to be holed up? We only have like 33 presumptive cases in the state that I am in at the moment, and I live in a rather large state.(area wise)
I think it's just fear that makes others want to buy if they see it because of scarcity. I went to the grocery store the other day when there were no cases in my area and had to wait an hour to just get through the checkout line. What people need to do is learn how to use the least amount of toilet paper as possible. It's not that hard. Like if I need to wipe my mouth, I take about two inches of paper towel and it works great.
I think that grocery's shops and super markets should pose a maximum amount of toilet papers that an individual can purchase.
It is a matter of helping all families around the world having the necessary items in order to endure this pandemic situation. And we are egoists as people so we need a 3rd party to control this behaviors.

Google "washable toilet paper."

Do you think that the hoarding will cause manufacturers to put more quality in?

I wonder why toilet paper is so difficult to find.
We have the same issue in my country. People are so obsessed in buying toilet paper and they are leading the store shelves to be empty.
If this situation continues probably we are going to have problems or finding toilet paper in unreasonable prices.
The customer explained that he would take the lot to a market and sell them there for a profit. There are always some people who want to exploit a crisis for financial gain.
yep it was triggered by a viral video on social media of people fighting over toilet roll and then adverts on ebay of high priced loo roll being sold. so people thought stupidly they al were gonna get the runs for a year(fiction, diarrhoea aint a big symptom) and ofcourse the profiteers who want to scam their way to riches causing panic to sell things for stupidly high prices
I had quite a long chat with the security guard at a major English supermarket, and he made an interesting comment. He had been talking to a customer who had bought two large trolleys full of loo rolls ( he bought the rolls not the trolleys of course 
). The customer explained that he would take the lot to a market and sell them there for a profit. There are always some people who want to exploit a crisis for financial gain.
The supermarket didn't seem to mind, as it is always fully stocked with loo rolls when it opens at 8am, and sold out when it closes at 10pm.

badecker. again try researching before assuming
firstly the toilet roll industry is not even a 1% dent of the whole economy
secondly the next financial crash will relate to the lack of pension funds due to the 'boomer' era that happened after WW2 who are now in retirement age
the inflation over the last half century vs the amount of pension funds put aside vs the sheer number of people reaching retirement age is not healthy numbers for the pension industry.
also the healthcare industry would be more affected than toilet paper industry
however getting back to the topic of toilet paper
there will not be significant impact on unemployment numbers because the industry is small compared to the thousands of other products in retail stores. and toilet rolls are not individually rolled by hand. so even in that industry the number of employees are low

It's a sign that people are scared but don't really know why? They buy things as if a meteor was going to hit the earth and all the stores were going to be closed.
Good practice for when the financial system goes belly up in the next couple of years or so. Even if the financial gurus have something in place to make the transition work more smoothly, there will still be a lot of people who are going to get hurt. But, the financial leaders don't seem to have a clear alternative. The financial system is going down.

As a bonus, as a God worshiping terrorist, the clean washed ass is a must. While kneeling before God in prayer, God sees everything trough the clothes. So taking in account God's obsession with hemorrhoids and all things anal (in book of Samuel 5:1), I guess the clean ass pleases God.

Nice to see you again MM! I trust that you have been busy doing God's work?
There are two books of Samuel, and neither of them has anything to do with what MM says.
I'm hardly a bible scholar, but do have access to the internets. it does seem like MM has something of a point and that you are somewhat incorrect in your blanket assertion:

Guys, did You tried to wash the ass after shitting instead of toilet paper? As a owner of manly, hairy asshole and a fan of spicy food, I will tell that no amount of toilet paper can reduce the burning sensation and shit smear in pubic hairs as good as washing the ass. Also one of my former girlfriends teached what to do to reduce smells and get a dick sucking every time and give no unpleasant sensations to girls while performing the duties.

wuhan had population of 11m
wuhan only had ~100k infections (under 1%)
of those affected runny poo was only a symptom of 5% of those infected
inshort
in a popular city, only 0.05% of people will need extra toilet roll compared to normal use
..
also over the 2 month period. the infection rate in wuhan is bottoming out,
meaning for one location its not like a year round problem. but something that can pass in a coupe months
individually people get over it usually in a week-1month depending on severity
yep those that got it early january and severe enough to need hospital, recovered and released by february
so in short
CALM THE HELL DOWN

Right! In the USA, the paper mills are firing up to manufacture tons more TP. They are working overtime. After the scare is over, people will be all stocked up with TP for a long time. The paper mills will have to lay off people for several months. The laid-off workers will collect unemployment checks from government. Government will have to borrow more money just to pay the unemployment. Since borrowing money is actually creating money rather than borrowing it - Crash of Wall Street Banks and Insurers this Week Blamed on the Coronavirus, but the Real Cause... - the money supply will grow. We will come closer to the big devaluation of cash, and the eventual hyper-inflation.
So, "CALM THE H*** DOWN." All that is happening is destruction of the world money system all on account of toilet paper.
