I ASKED a simple question and received a simple answer.
The question. Why have people gone bananas by bulk-buying toilet rolls?
The answer. When the coronavirus reached its peak in China, the Chinese stopped supplying Hong Kong with toilet rolls so as not to spread the infection.
As Hong Kong, does not make toilet rolls, the Hong Kong citizens, so as not to be without them, rushed to get supplies of them.
Australians, hearing about the rush to buy in Hong Kong, did the same, though Australia make toilet rolls themselves.
It seems rumours travel faster then the virus.
