I don't know if this photo was rigged, but I doubt it. People say that an education isn't important, and that "book learning" is overrated. Not true. Getting an education teaches people to think. Rather than avoiding Corona beer, people should be staying at home and avoiding the coronavirus.

EDIT: Yes, I know this picture is from England, but it's the same situation here.

Somehow I think that is staged.

Yeah, I actually saw the same thing at one of our local store. I just shook my head. Also, I just went to Walmart last night and you guessed it, the toilet paper isle was naked. Geez.

Actually, even though the pic is probably staged, that would display how smart Americans are. Corona is crap beer and no one wants to drink it! LOL.

So a store manager told his workers to empty the beer aisle and then load it with cases of Corona beer. Then he had someone take a picture of it. Of the two possibilities - stupid people or employees wasting their time, which do you think is the most logical? In this country, stores are understaffed, and employees are over-worked as a result of this virus.

Just wait until the Tiaravirus strikes next year.

One of the reasons that Mexicans have not much difficulty with the coronavirus is that they have been using a special Cerveza. Go to the pharmacist to obtain some. :sm08"

Seriously, one of the strangest complaints I've had was that I didn't speak English. Yes, I was nine before I was versatile in using English. Many even complained about my use of "them 25 cent words" or the "college words".

I think stupid people believe stupid things and want to think the worse of others.
Hey..if you believe that. Let me tell about this bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you real cheap.

Staged or not. It does highlight the result of having a certain group that pushed for the "dumbing down" of Americans.

Stupid question...how do you tell bad beer from "good" beer, if there is such a thing? Some of my siblings drink beer, my dad drank beer. I've sampled theirs many times. YUCK!!!

There is another possible reason.
Don Young a Republican congressman from Alaska is credited with this quote ...
"They call it the coronavirus. I call it the beer virus. How do you like that?”
If a network "News" show picked it up, people who heard it may have believed it.

In the Southeast, it is required to empty out all the milk and bread in the stores the moment of the prediction for snow!
