I remember I was at my uni library and I learned from a tweet of the health ministry that schools and unis are shutdown for the foreseeable future. I immediately went home early.
I remember telling my siblings “Meh this will probably last a week or so”. lol in hindsight.
I was at home. My boyfriend had gone to the store to buy toilet paper - I know, the irony - and he calls me and tells me everybody has gone insane and is buying a ton of toilet paper. He’s standing there with with his humble little pack of toilet rolls while people are tumbling pack after pack into their carts and acting frantic.
Took him half an hour to get through checkout. We spent the rest of our night watching the news.
I think there had been talks of lockdowns for a few days or so before that and we had all been kinda joking about it a little bit, but most of us didn’t really think it would happen until it did.
I still think it’s low key hilarious that my bf went to buy toilet paper and ended up in the toilet paper apocalypse for half an hour.
