An elderly woman in need of more beer during the coronavirus outbreak has managed to capture the attention of Americans across the country.

An image of Olive Veronesi, 93, of Seminole, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, sitting in her window holding a sign with her SOS says it all: ‘I NEED MORE BEER!!’  

The bespectacled Veronesi, dressed in a pink sweater, even gave a not-so subtle hint of the brew she likes most by holding up a can of Coors Light.
