Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019, various people have been stockpiling toilet paper, canned food, and bottled water amidst the panic of the the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic.[1] Fights between customers are occurring in supermarkets over the possession of such products. Oil prices are dropping because of various travel bans taken place. Many services are pressured by the new changes, such as hospitals. Many services are also closed off to public, such as restaurants.

During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, toilet paper shortages were reported in March 2020 in a number of countries due to excessive hoarding and panic buying. [2][3][4][5][6]
