Shelves that usually held toilet paper were nearly empty because of the panic buying that occurred throughout the United States.

March

Throughout the month of March, the fastest fall in global stock markets since the Great Depression occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the most devastating crash since the Wall Street Crash of 1929 that triggered the Great Depression.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) named the COVID-19 outbreaks across the world as a pandemic, causing many countries throughout the world to shut down to slow the spread of the disease. This also led to panic buying of many items, including toilet paper.

With the shutdowns and lockdowns throughout the United States, many schools and colleges started to do distance learning for their students to lower the chances of transmission and spread of the virus. Because of the sudden switch to online learning, many students were faced with many challenges during this time.
