I find it curious that the shortage was caused by fear of a shortage. The curious thing is that TP is far from the most essential thing. Most Americans don't have bidets, and when I think about it, I realize we should. But it's not that inconvenient to improves. Squat in the shower or bath and wash yourself. There's really not much to it. That's what people in some other parts of the world do, and as a result, they are cleaner than we are.
