Toilet paper may be in high demand as much of the population is in self-isolation to help flatten the curve during the pandemic.

But the precious commodity is not tops on everybody's priority list.


Some people are running desperately low on more important essentials.

For 93-year-old Olive Veronesi from Pennsylvania, it's beer. And she has no problem asking for more brewski to help ease her pandemic woes while she and her daughter are staying home.

A relative took this photo of Veronesi from the window of her Seminole home holding a can of Coors Light and a dry-erase board that read:

"I need more beer."

The humorous photo that was shared on CBS News' Facebook page resonated with people all around the world and racked up over 48K likes.

It's only after being removed from the situation does the person have the ability to realize where exactly they were and what was happening.
