Panic shopping is happening all over the world and is affecting everyone.
Even royalty like Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi all the way across the ocean in New York.
As worried people stock up for isolation and social distancing during the global Coronavirus pandemic, the South African beauty queen discovered that she’d run out of toilet paper.
The 26-year-old model, who has Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst for a roommate, realised that they were down to the last roll.
Cheslie said: “We went to three different stores and they were all out.”
So they resorted to asking their moms to send a few, and documented the whole thing on their Insta Stories.

Although neither of their moms live in the Big Apple, the likelihood of Cheslie’s mother sending them toilet paper before Zozi’s mother did was higher.
However, that did not stop her from asking her mother to send it anyway.
“So Cheslie’s mom said she’ll send us some toilet paper and I just think at this point that my mom needs to step up. I know she’s in South Africa, but she needs to start shipping some toilet paper,” she said, before laughing.
“Hopefully it arrives by June,” Cheslie added.
Zozi appealed for help: “Who do I know in the United States?”

Mzansi fans reminded Zozi that she has comedian Trevor Noah on that side of the world and should ask him for toilet paper while she waits for her mom to come through.
The two queens texted a neigbour in their building, who happens to be President of Miss Universe Paula Shugart, and she bailed them out with two rolls.
