Warning Tissues In Shortage Report 2022

8/4/2020.
“WARNING TISSUES IN
SHORTAGE”
Following the current outbreak of COVID-19 US has
experienced toilet paper shortages. According to the reports
from the daily adverts, most of the suppliers in the market have
argued that they are not positively sure when the supply will
resume to the normal. No one has ever imagined how US a
superpower nation can incur shortages of small products such
as toilet paper. It has become a nightmare in all states as
shelves have remained empty.
a. When might a shortage occur?
I think the current situation of the COVID-19
pandemic has revealed everything in the US. It is now three
weeks since the government reported the shortages of toilet
paper. Companies are worried about how the supply will shift
to the average level (Tian et al 2020). No one has the exact
prediction when the amount is going to change, but hopefully,
if the pandemic ends, all is going to be right.
b. What market will you talk about?
I will focus on the supply of tissues in the US.
c. Is this market in surplus or shortage?
The supply of the tissues is low as compared to other
days. In history, the US has never experienced shortages. With
the outbreak of COVID-19, things have overturned, thus
making bewildering every citizen in the US.
I have realized there are shortages after reading some of
the newspapers. Besides, the government has also outlined
reports showing how the states will incur deficits of tissue
paper.
Supply is uncertain!
