Emptiness Around Us: Empty Ledge

An empty shelf at Target in Niskayuna, NY in early April. The shelf here is normally fully stocked with toilet paper, flushable wipes, and facial tissue. The note explains a purchase limit of 1 product per guest, although there was none to be had in the store.

Toilet paper is coming back to the shelves (Tokyo)

I noticed at my local supermarket yesterday that, seemingly all of a sudden, toilet paper and facial tissues are totally in-stock. Here in Tokyo, it was hard to find such things (not impossible - check three or four stores and you'd find one package) for quite a while. And now, boom, no problem. Couldn't find any pasta sauce today, though.
