'Share toilet paper': in California, a man set up an exchange point for scarce goods

Annoyed by empty store shelves and the accumulation of critical items by shoppers in a panic over the coronavirus pandemic, a California man went outside to get other people to share toilet paper. Writes about it Fox News.

33-year-old Johnny Blue, a physiotherapist from Encinitas, stood for several hours at a busy intersection with a cardboard sign: “Share toilet paper.”

The reaction of people was positive: the drivers honked and handed toilet rolls to an impromptu exchanger.

“It just inspired me to remind people that if they have a lot of something that's important to everyone, someone probably doesn't have toilet paper because it's sold out. Therefore, it is very important to share the excess with others,” Blue said.

The idea came to Blue after his friend complained that he was having difficulty finding diapers and other necessary supplies for his children. Blue gave several rolls of toilet paper to a motorist who said he could not find one in several stores.

“He asked me, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Someone gave this to me. Now I’ll give it to you,” Blue said.

Videos and images of empty stores and shoppers grabbing essentials prompted many outlets to limit the amount of certain goods that could be purchased. Toilet paper, hand sanitizer and water are some of the most sought after items.

The country's authorities, including U.S. President Donald Trump, urge buyers not to stockpile and remind the public that the supply chain to stores will be carried out as before, so there will be no shortage.

“I think people are looking for a sense of community,” Blue said. “When things get tough, people tend to band together.”
