2009 Tragic Toilet Paper in Cuba: What about today?

Why is it so tragic of a moment when you run out of that last bit of toilet paper? No one seems patient enough to air dry these days. Instead we risk people being disgusted when we yell out that we're on the loo and still wet. If you're in a public toilet, alone, some people will go under the stall to the next toilet....it just sucks when it's empty too....


The point is that Cuba is running out of toilet paper so they shall be dealing with crisis more and more. They may all just have to go one ply


NBC Miami is stating that the "inhabitants could be wiping their butts with leaves and newspapers." I don't see this as too tragic considering my best releasing experiences were in the wild with leaves and a sunset at Big Sur.


Yet the entire invention of toilet paper was to make people stop using leaves to avoid infection.


So this happened in 2009. Does anyone know what happened after?
