After the governor announce COV is spreading out among the country. Everyone was stressed out so they went to the grocery store to buy daily use. When I went to the store, I saw there is a sign written there is no more toilet paper and water. I think people are not planning to go out anymore and that is why they bought all the toilet paper and water.
