Suddenly, having a well-stocked liquor cabinet has become a priority.
People have been clearing grocery aisles of toilet paper, peanut butter and pasta as they prepare to hunker down at home during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, liquor is the next must-have item for many consumers wondering how they are going to cope during the current global public health crisis.
Lisa Rydman, whose family owns Spec’s, a liquor store chain based in Houston, said online sales this week were up 100% compared to the week before. Eric Goldstein, owner of Park Avenue Liquor Shop in Manhattan, said customers had been coming in and buying one to two cases of wine at a time, usually in the morning before work or on the way home from the office.But the excitement of these boom times is dampened somewhat by the quiet stretches in the middle of the day — ominous reminders that there is less and less foot traffic, Goldstein added.

Panicked WHO Officials Not Sure How To Respond After Coronavirus Brings 12 People Back To LifeGENEVA—Acknowledging they were taken aback by the latest development in the global epidemic, panicked World Health Organization officials were reportedly unsure how to respond Tuesday after the coronavirus brought 12 people back to life. “Uh, okay, so COVID-19 remains a very grave health concern, but we have to admit that the disease returning a dozen people from the dead is a definite upside,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom, urging citizens to practice good hygiene in an effort to stop the transmission of the pathogen unless they have recently deceased loved ones, in which case it might make sense to encourage the spread. “If you have recently traveled to an infected area, we urge you to stay quarantined within morgues and graveyards in the hopes that your disease will bring some people back. As a reminder, the elderly and infirm are particularly at risk of coronavirus, so please exercise caution, unless you’re already suffering from a terminal disease in which case, I guess, do your best to contract the virus, maybe? I don’t know, this one’s a real head scratcher.” Adhanom added that a potential response had been further complicated by reports that the 12 afflicted individuals had gained super strength and were capable of running hundreds of miles without getting tired.
