The silly thing is that there's no real supply shortage, it's just panic buying which is - excuse the pun - wiping goods off the shelves. Supermarkets are going to do really well out of this pandemic.
I'm hoping that people will eventually run out of room or money to keep stockpiling, and the normal flow of shelf stocking can resume.
If not, I'll be cutting up newspapers. No, I won't throw them down the loo but into the bin. Unlike most, I haven't been panic buying. If I had done, loo roll would have been the last item I'd have thought of: food would take priority.
