Olive Veronesi of Pittsburgh, who is quarantining herself at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, has garnered widespread attention after she held a sign that reads “I Need More Beer!!” in her window.

A photo showing Veronesi with the sign in one hand and a Coors Light in the other was recently shared by a relative, and then by local TV station KDKA. “I have a beer every night,” Veronesi said during an interview with the Pittsburgh news outlet.

Coors Light is to beer what Zoom is to actually being there.

Nasty comments about her beer choice are just stupid. If I were near her I'd buy her whatever she wanted.
