Remember empty toilet-paper shelves? They’re back in Boise as virus hoarding resumes.
Idaho Statesman–Customers shopping at Boise’s Costco store got a rude surprise when they walked to the back of the store on Sunday and discovered the store had run out of toilet paper and paper towels.
It was reminiscent of last spring and summer, when jumbo packs of paper products were snatched up as soon as they were unloaded, leaving most of Costco’s customers empty-handed. Toilet paper, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies were in short supply nationwide for months after the coronavirus began causing panic late last winter.
FoxNews – A tractor-trailer carrying a load of toilet paper rolled over and burst into flames on a Texas highway early Wednesday morning, as people are hoarding the household necessity around the country during the coronavirus pandemic.
Video from a traffic camera showed the truck still smoldering three hours after the crash. It happened around 4:15 a.m. on Interstate 20 near Dallas, snarling traffic for hours, Fox 4 reported.
