    Yes, immediately, yesterday. People are dying NOW. Stop telling lies about what you've done and get on the stick about this.

    So what are democrats doing besides continuing to show their hate for Trump. Trump has done far more than Obama did during H1N1

    Well in a quarantine, people can still shop, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. And I'm assuming - if American grocery company bosses have two brain cells to rub together - that there has been restrictions placed on the number of items which can be purchased per transaction.

    Yesterday a store employee told me there was a line when they opened and they all went to the toilet paper aisle. Why are they still hoarding toilet paper? It makes no sense

    Same here in Australia. My theory is that many of those people in lines are people who haven't been hoarding toilet roll, but who now genuinely need it for immediate use, and they know that if they don't get to the shops early they won't get any. I'm almost in that situation myself now that I'm down to my last roll which I purchased before the toilet roll hoarding began! You talk about "hoarding", but you don't mean buying multiple toilet roll packets per transaction do you? Aren't there purchase limits in place for certain items?

    That is crap. Forgive the pun. After this many weeks there is no reason for this to be still happening. GP is operating at 125% of normal production. This says people are hoarding toilet paper. I don't understand the reason for this great need for TP. It is the same with Bleach and eggs. I haul semi loads of propane cylinders like those used for the grill. We are very busy which also makes no sense. We are delivering 15 loads a week more than usual

    Are you saying that it's not possible that many people right now genuinely need toilet roll for immediate use, and they know that if they don't get to the shops first thing in the morning they won't get any?

    What's "GP?"

    Why can't you address what I'm asking about purchase limits?

    Apparently it's very delicious.

    Then why does this not happen all the time? People are being stupid and hoarding toilet paper for no reason

    GP is Georgia Pacific.

    They need purchase limits because stupid people are buying far more than they need. Name the last time this happened with toilet paper

    Because before coronavirus, people had no reason to worry about the shops having no toilet roll. Why the hell else? I'm now in serious need of the stuff, so I'll be lining up first thing in the morning any day now, because when I'm in the shops in the afternoon or later, the shelves are simply BARE! I'll only be buying a two pack so that there is more for others. I'm just a single person, so it doesn't matter.

    I was asking if purchase limits have been put in place where you are. It sounds as if they have.

    The incubation period can be longer than that, so your week ago was totally ineffective. YOU now MUST be voted against, because that is the intent of this topic.

    Commerce clause: Now if you want the president to Quarantine the State of California, especially cities within, from spreading its illegal alien virus, by all means show us your legal arguments for all potential uses of the commerce clause.

    Any State can repel invasion without waiting for Congress, so why didn't New Jersey close its borders to those nasty snot nosed New Yorkers invading with the Wuhan? Oh, wait, the Governor is a DEMOCRAT.

    You do not have a reason why this is happening

    What the hell are you talking about? I've stated my reason very clearly. It's a pretty safe assumption that some people are lining up early at the shops because they need toilet roll and other people are hoarding because they are braindead pieces of human waste. You have zero evidence that they are ALL hoarding.

    That does not explain why it is happening. It has been weeks and still there is no toilet paper

    Well there is early in the morning isn't there? Presumably that's why you've seen long ques at the shops.

    Why is that? There is no logical reason for a Toilet paper shortage. There is no logical reason to hoard TP
