Back in March, when the COVID-19 virus had
just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified
about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly
urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and
storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.
One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of
cardboard, wrote "Share Your Toilet Paper" on it in huge letters, and camped out
on the street corner. "It just inspired me to remind people
that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who
don't have very much of it because you took it all," Blue said. "So sharing it is probably a good thing
to keep in mind."
The response was immediate and positive,
with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop
off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them
out.
"This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of
stores and couldn't find any," Blue said as cars went by. "Somebody had given me some, so I gave
it to him. He was excited. He was like, 'Do you want me to pay you?' I said, 'No,
man. Take it.'"
A moment later, a driver in a white pickup
truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue's collections.
"People are loving it," Blue said. "They're honking, smiling, laughing. It's
kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community."
