The corona pandemic causes many people to panicky hamster purchases, causing protective masks, disinfectants, but most of all Toilet paper sold out worldwide are. A scenario that State of Decay players might be familiar with – even if (in the face of global quarantine measures) (hopefully) we don't face the zombie apocalypse.
State of Decay "Predicted" Toilet Paper Shortage
Reddit user BJAT93 noticed that there is a curious parallel between the return of the living dead in State of Decay and the real corona pandemic that could undoubtedly make video gamers smile: The disappearance of the toilet paper.
On Reddit, BJAT93 shared an in-game dialogue between two characters who are talking about the most confusing aspect of the end of the world. So it was understandable for the NPC named Christopher that food, medicine or ammunition had been sold out in the face of the apocalypse – but toilet paper?
State of Decay 1 called it back in 2013 from r / StateOfDecay
Who knows: Maybe those who are currently buying more toilet paper than they can use in their whole life have played State of Decay and learned their lessons from it? It shouldn't be necessary to mention that this is definitely not the right one.
Hamster purchases real danger during corona pandemic
Because buying hamsters is a big risk: Important resources such as protective masks or disinfectants are hoarded by individuals, while others go empty-handed, although they would be dependent on them. This is particularly dangerous for those who belong to the corona risk groups or who are actively involved in the fight against the pandemic – such as doctors or hospitals, who simply lack the equipment.
If you would like to find out more about the corona virus and how you can best protect yourself and others, we advise you to open the comprehensive FAQ of the Ministry of Health. There is also an official manual for protection against infection and an independent patient advice service on 0800 011 77 22.
Regardless of this, we recommend at this point: Only buy as many groceries and toilet paper rolls as you or your family need and be considerate of your fellow human beings in the face of the global corona pandemic.
