No Scott Toilet Paper?

[Emergent]

Why is my favorite TP no longer available? What is happening with our distribution network? Why no Scott?

What other shortages are you all encountering?

I would be happy with with my patients breathing without distress.

Toilet paper brands? Really

Toilet paper is everywhere now. It's the cleaning wipes that have disappeared.

they're with the foaming hand soap and spray disinfectant.

Might help to look at when this thread was posted. There was a shortage back then.?

Still periodic shortages in Philadelphia suburbs --hit or miss. I've found shopping 30min prior store closing, can often get items as starting to restock.

Same here. Hand sanitizer and TP are usually around but disinfectant cleaners are still hard to find.

I've had a hard time finding hand sanitizer that doesn't have methanol.

The FDA has warned, "Ethanol and methanol may sound similar and are both colorless liquids. But methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, can be toxic if absorbed by the body."

Good thing we have federal regulations to protect us from irresponsible manufacturing.

I hear they just came out with a more complete list. I don't have it at my fingertips.

I was being sarcastic. The administration is celebrating their removal of all kinds of regulations on business.

Obviously, as we see, the rightwing's multi-decade efforts to destroy every last bit of OSHA, environmental, labor, and other regulation that was just so unnecessary and such a hardship to big business has resulted in a happy ending, gazillions of high paying jobs, and the elimination of poverty. </s>

Let's not even talk about their public health related budgetary priorities. The states have really diminished their PH capacity over the last few decades. It's particularly bad in states which believe in fiscal austerity for we the people.

Anybody else noticing that just about ANYTHING PAPER is missing-in-action????? Like paper table napkins, paper towels, and now most recently, paper plates. Paper plate prices have sky-rocketed!!!!!!!
