The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in panic buying—and shortages—of toilet paper. In 2020, the United States also experienced from Asia an invasion of “murder hornets.”
   
“What are murder hornets and how much toilet paper do we need to buy to stop them?” is a joke that was posted on Twitter by Jacob on May 4, 2020. “What are murder hornets and how much toilet paper do we need to buy?” was posted on Twitter by Scott Dray a few minutes later on May 4, 2020.
   
   
Wikipedia: Asian giant hornet
The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), including the former subspecies referred to as the “Japanese giant hornet” is the world’s largest hornet. It is native to temperate and tropical East Asia, South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and parts of the Russian Far East. It was also found in the Pacific Northwest of North America in late 2019, with no reports since to suggest that they have become established there.
