I read a news article from Australia that stores are beginning to limit sales of TP because people are stockpiling it.
Craziness!
I blame the media. I was on lunch break and watched a clip from the Today Show. They had Dr. Oz teaching how to properly wash your hands, some other Dr on how to properly use hand sanitizer; they had a Today Show host showing what disinfectants and cleaning supplies to purchase and another host showing what foods to stock for at least a 2-week supply.

Two things at work here simultaneously:
1. If there is a mandatory quarantine in your area you may be stuck at home for up to a month or two or longer with no resupply, so stock up in case.
2. Others are stocking up so the shelves are emptying, so get it while you can because in a week or two it may be all gone.
A closed feedback loop.
