I heard that a couple times this morning, too. Did you here the expert explaining why people hoard TP? He said people are trying to control at least one aspect of their worried lives.
Fact, the TP industry knows pretty well how much TP to make in a year and most of our paper is made here in the USA. It's a simple population and poop formula which doesn't change with the CV unless people start using it for things for which it's not intended which is fairly unlikely. As a result, the TP shortage is of our own making and not rational. The TP makers won't make more because there is no need. The current problem comes in delivery as hoarders have stripped the shelves.
Now, paper towels is a whole other problem because we've become cleaners like never before.
