Just asked my daughter the same thing. Why is a flu in China making people buy toilet paper?
She had no idea and she works in the health industry.

I've heard 2 myths.

1: Incase you get quarantined and can't leave the house for a fortnight.
2: People think that all this crap is made in China and wont get exported here.

Apparently people have their Bog Roll stocks up on eBay already. Friend on FB reckons she went to Coles today and said there was no:
- Toilet Paper
- Tissues
- Paper Towels
- Pasta
- Flour
- Rice
- Soap (Liquid or solid)

And very little:
- Bleach
- Long life or powdered Milk

Wedgie that's pretty much spot on at the moment.

The funny thing is people who are panic buying are also happy to go into shops with massive crowds.

I mean if your really that concerned you'd stay away from big gatherings right?

Kimberly Clark down in Millicent are laughing their arses off.

They've swung into 24 hour production of bog roll to keep up with the demand.

My job is as safe as houses, catering for KCA now will be bedlam, apparently they're re-manning a closed metropolitan site to cater for the influx of demand.

They've probably started the panic, at the end of the day it's great for the economy that is struggling big time.

Didn’t they close down their Sydney plant last year and move it offshore....Vietnam maybe?

Yep, pretty sure that you're on the money, how ironic.

Their Millicent factory is pretty big and smashes out heaps of bog roll etc.
