Nor will the mother of two dying from a hit and run RTA etc.
So this is why COVID should be taken seriously.
This doesn’t explain the panic buying however...

This is my take on it as well, the panic buying is a result of the media fanning the flames of the end of days and the world as we know it are over. Folks think that means the new world will not have toilet paper I guess.
