Amidst the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, many governments are quarantining its citizens to curb the spread of COVID-19. As the death toll continues to rise in the US, local governments of many states have ordered lockdown to avoid crown gatherings. One of these places is Oregon and while in lockdown, people are hoarding the supermarkets to stock-up supplies for the long stay. Now, the shortage of toilet paper rolls is driving the crowd insane. So they are calling the emergency services to ask for the same. This led the Newport Police Department to inform the residents not to call 911 for toilet paper rolls.
The authorities took references from history and went on to tell the residents how sailors and seamen used to clean their buttocks. And they didn’t use the “soft, ultra plushy two-ply citrus-scented tissue”. As Oregon is a coastal state in the Pacific Northwest, the authorities said how various things soaked in saltwater can be used to clear the picture and the they “have an abundance of saltwater available”.
