@Mouse and others. Good for you.
Package stores near the homestead are considered essential and remain open. Hospitals do not want to deal with detox issues.
I made a scientific study on toilet paper folding. If this catches on, I pity the future for toilet paper companies.

@Gordon Shumway - ROFL, it's puzzled the 5-hit outta me as well !!!
I mean, sure, in the absence of paper handkerchiefs, I went through an entire roll in a day some goodly number of years back when I had a horrid cold, you know the sort of thing, sneezing with abundant quantities of nasal excretions which are probably best not described here..... but, as Alf says above - AFAIK that's also not a symptom of this current plague...
Soooo.... who knows ???
If you're in desperate need, they are probably available on e-bay at $5 per individual sheet .... (plus postage) (plus tax) (plus import duty) (plus identity-theft) - Ohhh, I do e-bay as dis-service, sorry - there ARE bona-fide sellers, and great buys to be had on e-bay, of course there are....
Nahhhh, I know, its not actually funny at all, just harder to understand than a course on astrophysics....
Take care out there everyone, be safe !

ROFL @Gordon Shumway - yeah - I too suffer from the "misunderstood humor" paradox (well, yes, I had to work on choosing to use that word, because it certainly is paradoxical to me when I look at some of the other stuff that's supposed to be funny... LOL!!!) -
Then again, I've always blamed that on my Scottish upbringing, and I suppose, the accent is difficult to understand (even when written ?????? ) .... you sir, therefore do not suffer alone !

I haven't lost weight. I put on a couple of pounds in the past 2 1/2 weeks. We have plenty of food...and toilet paper...in the house to last us a while. We always have a lot of food because we buy a lot in bulk and than vacuum pack into smaller packets or put in a chest freezer in the basement. But, we were getting low on booze! Pennsylvania closed all the state liquor stores two weeks ago as "non-essential", so you can only get beer and wine in PA right now. Luckily, we live close to the New Jersey border, so we went on a "hooch run" this morning and stocked up. It was either there or to the hardware store to buy what I would need to make a still!
I got 172 peat pots started with seeds this week in my greenhouse. Four varieties of tomatoes, 5 varieties of peppers, cabbage, herbs and lots of flowers. I also started some lettuce and spinach seeds. Still have squash, carrot, green onion and cucumber seeds I want to start.
I'm teaching myself a new tune I found on the internet called "Downstream" and doing a lot of pattern exercises which I find are helping me a lot.
You all stay well!
Here is "Downstream" from a YouTube video. Very pretty...much prettier than I can play it right now!

@Irv - yeah, that's just about me. But the fingernails are kept under control here.... I'm keeping them "Spruce as a goose" so I can continue to fly.... Ohhh I mean play....

@MrYikes ! Hope all goes well with you and yours there !!!
Keep up the coloring-in ! I've had it up-to-the-neck with Sudoku - in fact it gets scary, as if the answers to the missing numbers just simply appear..... sad, sad...

Ahoy @MrYikes . My wife just finished sanitizing returned money with a uv lamp assembly.
Regarding the toilet paper issue. I think the main problem is that the companies what produce tp for offices, hotels, and general industry (the not so posh stuff) is not being distributed to the residential market.
I thought that there would be a run on eggs (which are needed to produce vaccines). It appears that the government has chicken farms for that need.
India developed an inexpensive ventilator a few years ago using a repurposed cell phone (with an app) which is the operator interface and electronics. It likely interfaces with the mechanical bits through blue tooth. I found that nugget via a TED Talk.
