Any supply chain wonks out there? Explain it to me like I’m six years old, 2 months + in, why haven’t supply chains made

I can only guess that manufacturing was never setup to ramp up beyond what was needed for the new buying pattern. You can find stories of TP makers working overtime.

Another challenge is shipping and distribution. They too would have to increase their hours and capacities.

The nature of hoarding means manufacturing by definition can't ever meet demand. That said, GeorgiaPacific says residents are using some 40% more TP because they can't use it at work or at restaurants etc now.
