Woman, 93, asks family for more beer with window sign amid lockdown

A 93-year-old woman, who hails from Pennsylvania, US, has amused people around the globe amid the COVID-19 pandemic, after she was photographed making a plea for a lockdown essential: beer.

Olive Veronesi is staying inside her home in Seminole, near Pittsburgh, to help “flatten the curve”, per government recommendations. And given that she was unable to go out to the grocery store, she found another way to replenish her supplies: standing at her window with a dry wipe board in one hand, which read "I NEED MORE BEER".

In her other hand was a can of Coors Light.

''It’s something to relax, ya know. I think it’s nice, something for a young lady,” Veronesi told local station KDKA-TV as she pointed at herself.

A relative of Veronesi’s took the photograph, which has since been shared millions of times on social media. "I love it! Would someone go out and get her a case of Coors Light! God Bless her,” one Facebook user wrote, while another corroborated "I am ready to take a road trip to help a gal out!”

KDKA-TV have now said that they have it on "good authority" that Veronesi won't have to wait long for her beer, and I think we can all cheers to that.

The state of Pennsylvania announced stay-at-home orders on April 1.
