As caronavirus fear spreads, Aussies are prepping for the worst by stripping their local supermarkets of the humble bog roll.

Coles, Woolies and IGAs across the nation have just bare shelves where once proudly stood isles full of toilet paper. Some stores have even imposed rationing! There are also some (not-so-serious) posts on eBay and Gumtree offering resale for astonishing mark-ups – $4million to wipe ya bum, anyone?

Some may say “sensible”, but most people on Twitter appear to be screaming “bizarre!”. The #toiletpapercrisis certainly makes for funny, if not concerning, images and total meme heaven:

Perhaps the Government could make wiping your bum a declared event?

Then these scalpers would be limited to cost + 10%

In all this mayhem I’m sure there are some right now who literally can’t wipe their bum because of these idiots 🤨#toiletpapergate #ToiletPaperEmergency https://t.co/2WiMG1LnE0
