Oh fuck yes they are. My mom was talking about how the only time she found toilet paper was when it was at a local store at over twice the price. I was mad at her for not buying some, but it was sold out all the same when she went back the next day.
Especially now that the government has shut down most other places, even if they're watching it, people are still buying them out, and everything is still a supply and demand. There is only so much product any distributor can create, (and as someone in that sort of business I know) especially when people are getting ill within the factories, there's only so long they can keep up with demand until they close too.

Even with a limit, people will go back however many times they feel they need until they sell everything out... I went back to a local drug store to pick up my meds, once with my dad and once without, and the cashier knew me but still had to ask if I'd just bought things there. I didn't buy anything extra, but just the same as when sales had limits before this crisis, they can't kick people out/decline purchase without reasonable proof. So even though I got my prescription filled pretty much first thing in the morning, the toilet paper, tissues, lysol wipes, sanitizer, and the last refill of soap (that I grabbed with someone else literally coming down the aisle looking for the same thing right after) were still all gone. So yeah. I definitely agree.

Rationing shouldn't be too difficult to impose in this day and age, and the sooner the better, say I.
