COVID-19 has turned the world upside down. Toilet paper is now as valuable as gold (don’t quote us on that). Clorox and Lysol wipes are stock piled in our closets. People have gone from not washing their hands to spending the full 20 seconds thoroughly cleaning them—and even creating memes about it.
