The Hamsters Are Back

I went to see my mother today and had planned to do some grocery shopping on the way.

The latter was only partly successful, though. Just like in the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, panic buyers have emptied all supermarket shelves of things like pasta, yeast, flour, vegetable oil (that's what this blip shows, or rather fails to show), tinned food, and - you guessed it - toilet paper.

In German, this kind of hoarding is called "hamstern" (to behave like hamsters), which explains my title.
