If panic has already spread in your city due to the uncertainty of the coronavirus, you can easily identify with the story behind this photograph: a granny from Melbourne who cried desolate when she found the stock-out supermarket shelves.

A journalist in Australia, Seb Costello, uploaded the graphic document to his twitter account:

Today at noon. Port Melbourne Coles. Canned food aisle. They told me that he was crying. This captures who are the true victims of the self before anyone else, what the hysterical purchases that are happening now do,”complained the informant.

Panic is sweeping supermarkets around the world. The terror of the people in the face of the uncertainty of the pandemic caused by the Covid-19, causes many people to provide themselves excessively and selfishly with essential goods, without thinking that other more vulnerable people may also need it.

Long lines at store entrances and crowds of people fighting even over a roll of toilet paper are the common denominator these days. Non-perishable products are the first to run out, such as food cans, flours, pasta, rice … During these last weeks, it is normal that when the weakest have access to purchases, they no longer have the necessary supplies.

The granny from Melbourne would never have thought that she went out to the supermarket to go around the world. If it serves to move consciences, it will have been worth it. Meanwhile, Seb Costello asks for help to find the old woman since many people, knowing her story, now want to help her.
