Chief Executive of the popular Australian supermarket chain Woolworths, B. Banducci, recently declared the toilet paper insanity is pretty much over for 2020, with supplies quickly returning to normal levels in various places.
How Much Is Selling?
For Australia, Woolworths had seen an incredible 39.7 million rolls being sold in just one week during mid-March, but things are returning to normal now. They expect to sell around 9-10 million rolls per week now. A big difference.
Toilet paper chain experts have previously insisted that the shortage wasn't due to production failures so much as it was due to people hoarding toilet paper products at home.
You might have seen drastic improvements in your own local supply recently.
Once the demand surged as it did back several weeks ago, production facilities ramped up to operating 24/7 in many circumstances, working as hard as they could to try and adjust to that new demand.
Some facilities in the United States have been producing more than 1 million rolls every single day.
But it still might be a few weeks yet until you can find things like Clorox wipes, masks, and perhaps sanitizer.
Although, the various distilleries and other companies that have jumped into producing sanitizer and flooding the market with it have helped to increase prevalence of that product over the last several weeks. It might also not be as difficult to find now as well.

Greetings appreciated @doitvoluntarily.
No one could have foreseen this situation. Not even statesmen or a logistics agency for catastrophic events.
It is a totally unpublished situation. For this reason, supplies and stock were not sufficient to cover demand levels.
Incredible true?
Imagine that mosquito repellents are suddenly necessary, since a sudden proliferation of this pest would be putting public health at risk.
In a matter of hours, not a single container of this product would remain.
Something like this happened with toilet paper.
