First it was Rolls … Then it was Rats
Remember Toilet Paper Madness? Is it ‘Must-Have’ RATS Now?
Back in 2021 there were fights over toilet papers when COVID madness first showed itself in the early public recognition of COVID realities.
Do you remember those times?
Like a tsunami wave, the need to stock up and even hoard toilet rolls became unstoppable. Even when the Supermarkets put up restricted purchase signs it didn’t stop … and people were seen on the evening news bulletins, fighting each other for a packet of toilet rolls!
If you weren’t there, you won’t believe it … but it really did happen.
To use one of my favorite sayings: “People can be people”.
Of course it stopped when there were no more rolls left … And, as is always the case realistic sanity eventually settled in. Things started to improve; supplies began to be replenished; and people realized that there was no need to panic after all!
Hello and welcome to another COVID article. But this one is more of an opinion piece rather that a serious scientific analysis, so instead of adding it to my series of COVID Bulletins*, it will stand alone as a separate opinion piece.
