These types of toilet rolls aren't being panic bought, as they're not available in supermarkets, so the supply is plentiful. They're for businesses, such as the one I work for, with public toilets having industrial sized toilet paper dispensers on their premises.
I'm sitting on a goldmine at work. All I need now are some normal-sized cardboard inserts, some time on my hands and I'll be making a fortune during the lock-down. Every cloud has a silver lining...
Within living memory, before we had the ability to micro analyse viruses (the flu virus was first isolated in 1933), the current situation would have been put down to an abnormally intense flu season, everything would have proceeded as normal and the extra deaths among the elderly would have been accepted as par for the course. That's just the way things were.
Surely, isn't it less economically damaging (and this is merely an opinion) to isolate the elderly and vulnerable, who are in any case less likely to be in the workforce, and allow the virus to rip through the rest of the population, who are going to recover anyway and thus gain a high degree of herd immunity? Closing everything down simply risks a resurgence when restrictions are lifted again, with the cycle being repeated until a vaccine is developed, which is still some 12 months away despite stage 1 clinical trials now taking place. Shoot me down if you believe differently.
You never know - behavioural scientists may well be screwing around with our heads as we speak. The irony is that we mustn't know how they're doing it, else it becomes ineffective. Just look at how we've changed our habits within a few, short weeks - everyone has started washing their hands furiously Wish they could do something with the minds of those engaged in panic buying - although that could also be a psychological ploy to frighten us more so that we're more susceptible to another suggestion. Just look at what behavioural geeks did with Brexit - they persuaded a large proportion of the populations to vote against their best interests.
Meanwhile, a team of Chinese scientists have conducted an analysis of the blood types of those susceptible to corona virus and have tentatively suggested that those with type-O blood (such as myself) are less susceptible to the virus than those of type-A. The results have not yet been peer-reviewed and might just be due to other causes, or even happenstance.
My advice is to buy Co-Op Funerals shares - I hear they're going to shoot up in value. Of course, if I die then it's unlikely anyone would be able to attend the festivities anyway.
I hear that Eastenders has ceased filming, but surely this situation is a perfect plot line as Albert Square copes with the virus. Viewing figures would be through the roof.
To move on to those saying Brexit should not be postponed during the viral emergency - let me get this straight; the self-employed and those on zero hours contracts, who are probably the least affected by Brexit as they're generally operate in the domestic economy, are about to be filleted by business drying up though Covid-19 isolation but, somehow, the decimation of exporters and their workers through the auspices of Brexit is going to improve matters? Brexit is merely piling avoidable misery on top of unavoidable misery. Give me a break! - what ideologically hamstrung morons believe this is actually desirable? At the very least Brexit should be postponed, if not cancelled in its sad, misinformed entirety. Those promoting the currently timetabled Brexit must have the empathy of a snake or the Borg.

Unfortunately reasoned argument with gammon's, much like resistance, is futile..
