A video of a woman in tears in a grocery store, unable to find diapers for her toddler amid the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus pandemic, went viral on TikTok. In the short clip, she explained how, unlike many others, she wasn’t in a financial position to stockpile. The video, along with its strong message, went viral on the social media platform, with many users showing compassion and offering to help.
Lauren Whitney posted the viral TikTok video while she was out trying to find diapers for her child. “To all you crazy people going out and buying all the diapers. How am I supposed to diaper my child?” she said in the clip, as she suddenly burst into tears. “If I can’t afford to buy 20 at a time as you can?”
