Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes

Why did you hoard toilet paper?  This has always been a mystery to me.

it too started in asia and then spread like the virus itself, replicating in many host witnesses of the phenomoenon

For the OP:  yes, you are correct.  I was looking for some tubes on line yesterday after a backorder placed a month ago was cancelled and it was with one of the largest suppliers.  I couldn't find any tubes (12AX7) yesterday, or at least none within my budget.  I was thinking the same thing, that some individuals no doubt bought up as many as they could find over the past few weeks.  

Two years ago - March 2020 we were hoarding toilet paper. Fast forward to March 2022 - we are hoarding vacuum tubes

the toilet paper was with pretty much most of society.   

tubes not so much.

Doesn't most Russian Military Equipment run on tubes instead of transistors?  Perhaps the Russian Military thinks they may need a supply for some exercise that the mods on this forum don't want us to mention
