Yup that's mostly what it is. Stupid and selfish people are panicking and taking WAY more than they need, not only ruining it for literally the entire country, but they're going to end up being stuck with tons of useless TP once mold sets in over summer time.
Update: I got some TP! They would bring out boxes of new stock, and people would grab it as soon as the boxes were opened. There's no choice what brand you get, unless you want to wait and see what the next box is going to be. If you want a specific (usually cheaper) brand, you have to wait and hope to win some fights over others looking for that brand.
Rice was easier, but again only one brand. Thai long grain rice that I usually don't buy but it'll have to do for now.
Goods from China are definitely coming in slower than usual, but thankfully there's enough supply from other countries. It's not even always more expensive either. One of the biggest concerns (for me at least) is with a complete border shutdown, we'd be relying 100% on imports from countries other than China. That was also (allegedly) a concern when debating the handover.
