The shortage is industry wide, both commercial and industrial. There are no warehouses full of industrial toilet paper at the moment.

That’s good to hear, because a week ago Target was doing nothing. They were almost pointedly not cleaning surfaces or sanitizing carts.
I’ve got to go shopping this week so I hop my local target looks like yours.
Why was that manager even working if he was ill???My niece works ar Target. Saturday, she was working with a very ill manager. Yesterday, another manager called her in the office and told her the manager she worked with on Saturday tested positive for the Corona Virus.
That's definitely the case for some people but even now, some companies will just fire an employee if they don't come in. Sick or not sick, pandemic or no pandemic. When your choice is working sick & hoping you don't have coronavirus or you & your kids being homeless, I can see how people make the choice. I'm lucky enough to have a cushion that I can get by for a few months but I don't know anyone else in the real world that can say that.Because people are capable of displaying a stunning lack of common sense.

That's definitely the case for some people but at the same time, some companies will just fire an employee if they don't come in. Sick or not sick, pandemic or no pandemic.
Even if a retail place is acting right and doesn't penalize an employee for taking off for an illness now, they're not likely to pay that employee and If they've got bills, that's likely going to keep them going to work even if they're sick.I worked retail, and I remember calling in sick was never really an option(Toys R Us)If you did, you were a bad person. Once had an accident at work with 14 stitches, manager said, "when you are done at the med center come back, and finish your shift". I had three hours left...seriously?
Is it true that mass transit (trains and subways) are still operating in NYC? Yes, too many people need these services to just shut them down, butHospitalizations are dropping in New York, but the death rate has increased to 779 on Tuesday. It appears the curve is flattening.
I have decided to just tune it all out. The internet media outlets are full of articles and headlines-It is almost impossible to not know what is going on. Every news broadcast on radio and TV is almost exclusively covid19. Of course you could put a paper bag over your head, put your fingers in your ears and shout “La, La, La, La”.

A total of four trailers have been brought to the Monroe County Fleet Center on Paul Road in Chili. According to a county spokesperson, up to 128 bodies can be stored in the trailers.
County officials say the DHA is necessary due to the increasing number of deaths related to COVID-19. As of Monday afternoon, more than 25 people have died from the novel coronavirus in the county. Funeral homes are also limiting the number of funeral services they conduct during this crisis.
The transition to storing bodies in the tractor-trailers is expected to begin this week.
The last I knew they were still open, but I remember hearing Cuomo saying that they should only be used by essential workers such as Doctors and Nurses.Is it true that mass transit (trains and subways) are still operating in NYC? Yes, too many people need these services to just shut them down, but
you can see where this virus will remain an issue
with so many people in close quarters.
Of course you could put a paper bag over your head, put your fingers in your ears and shout “La, La, La, La”.
