Will the TP folk....

Since there are so few test kits, in the United States anyway, there are pretty strict guidelines. Bryan in Lincoln, for instance, will get 50 kits a month. That's two to use per day. So they will have to be very particular on who to test. It won't be a deal like South Korea where they test 12,000 a day.
It will get even more interesting in the coming months as SARS CoV-2 spreads and seasonal spring allergies hit.

Heard yesterday that Mayo developed a test and 500,000 tests will be available soon. Anybody know what soon means?
The good thing is the drive thrus planned. The psychology of putting them in restocked walmarts, brilliant.
I agree. The South Koreans have really shown "the west" how it should be done. Make it fast. Make it free. And make it safe.
I wish we would also have had a US drug company working on this 2 1/2 months ago like South Korea did, but our drug companies are more worried about advertising and hiring more lobbyists.
There were also regulations and red tape unfortunately. It reminds me of the san fran earthquake, where all thr bridged freeways collapsed, that it would take over two years to rebuild, they had a contactor come in, say he could get it done in nine months, for slightly less the costs.
They had to waive all their red tape, regulations too, nine months later, people were on the new roads.
If you know anyone who is hoarding TP, you should go splurge on Taco Bell and then go to their house.
Are you in the 402? I can check with the wife to see if we have some left over if you can’t find any. It seems we always bought a huge box right before an unexpected growth spurt and had a bunch left over.
It will be a triage prioritization by the medical community. I expect there will ultimately be a surge in test availability but yes it will take a bit of time to accomplish that surge. Can't put a date on it right now.
In the mean time you won't just be able to pull a test off of a shelf like toilet paper.
Walmart, target, Costco and others will probably limit to the customers 1 12 pack of tp per customer same as hand sanitizers. When this is over these people that have $500 worth of toilet paper in the back closet will make the mice very happy.
I hope someone breaks into the houses of those with that much TP, and TPs their yard with their own supply!
My wife kept checking target online daily until they had some in stock so she ordered 1 for us and 1 for the person that watches her during the day. Thanks for the offer though.
