2019–20 coronavirus pandemic related shortages

Okay kiddo, so right now there's a big sickness going around called coronavirus that is making a lot of people sick. Because of this, some things that we usually have a lot of are starting to run out.

For example, some stores are running low on things like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and masks. This is because lots of people are trying to buy these things all at once to make sure they have enough for themselves and their families.

Another thing that might start running low is some types of food. This is because some of the people who usually work on farms or in food processing factories are getting sick and can't go to work right now. So, there might not be as many people to make or grow the food that we usually have plenty of.

But don't worry, grown-ups are working hard to make sure that we still have enough of everything we need even during the coronavirus outbreak. It's important to remember to be patient and kind while we wait for things to get back to normal.
