Americans are coronavirus panic-buying spiral hams and oatmilk

Yes - none of it is hard to explain except the toilet roll - I just don’t get why that’s where people’s minds go in a crisis like this, and I’m told it takes less than 48 hours to manufacture and ship. Some people are buying a LOT more toilet paper than usual. It’s not the first time it’s happened either.

And now we’re in a feedback loop, and EVERYONE is buying it when they see it, whether they need it or not.
