One of the world's largest suppliers says this is reason behind the toilet paper shortage

Turns out, now that most people are using the bathroom solely at home, and not in commercial businesses, the demand for toilet paper made for home usage is up a whopping 40 percent, according to the paper company, which along with other manufacturers, is trying hard to make up the difference

"It's kind of hard to say if it will get back to normal by this date because there's a lot of factors that are involved in that," he said.

So when you're tempted to curse the empty shelves on the paper aisle remember, if there's one positive thing in all this, we've learned to appreciate things we took for granted before, things like essential workers, schools, eating out, and, yes, even toilet paper.
