Just wait. Money is a tool to measure mediated exchange. It doesn’t magically create the thing that’s exchanged. This will soon be very apparent.
The national guard has contingency plans for exactly this situation, I suppose. Just throwing money around won't make sure that everyone has toilet paper.

hospitals seem like a better case for this than basic sanitation and food imo but who knows ive never set up a command economy at scale

Some difficulties with just giving people money: There are 14M adults in the US that don't even have a bank account you can throw money into. You also have millions of undocumented immigrants etc. You also have very different disposable income (rent, health care, savings, ...).

When people are sitting on a stock of toilet paper high enough that their fears are at ease, they will stop buying (for a long time) and normality will return. We're seeing that in Australia now.

Haven’t been able to buy toilet paper for over 3 weeks, trying at least 3 different stores multiple times a week. What normal?!
