The toilet paper shortage was also pretty overblown. A quick 30-second shower (or bidet) is more sanitary than TP anyway.
If a dog poops on the floor, we generally do not just wipe it a few times with a dry paper towel. It's intriguing we humans find that an acceptable solve when it comes to our own body.

The other end of the spectrum of humanity are those who think it's actually healthy to sanitize everything to the point that it's obsessive and don't acknowledge that somehow our ancestors survived down through millions of years of evolution.
I feel the 'toilet paper shortage'- period of the pandemic provided a much more visceral idea of how fragile it all is. This ship we won't feel in our daily lives anytime soon.
