If they recommended it, people would definitely hoard them. There isn't even a shortage of toilet paper, but people still hoard it.

In some parts of the US like NW Washington, toilet paper is in short enough supply that some households need to put non-trivial time and effort to get some.

It's hyper local. I got lucky and hit Costco in December. Feel like I still see it in stores sometime, but people need to shop around.

Acetaminophen is trickier now.

Totally uncorrelated. Surgeon general isn't recommending people but toilet paper.
