When you need that t.p. but Amazon is out, and you’re not supposed to leave your house; tech San Francisco doesn’t fail. Thank you @chenosaurus for the speedy cross city delivery- I owe you one ? pic.twitter.com/Y4OZzoyCWH

When Ian Chan discovered that he was out of toilet paper during San Francisco’s Shelter-In-Place Ordinance, he contacted his friend David Chen. Chen, who is an “aspiring drone racing pilot”, equipped his drone with a single roll and sent it across San Francisco for delivery to Chan’s doorstep.

The men captured this special delivery from several different angles.

Ok, addendum. Now with both angles. For science. cc @bloomey @cg @BWJones pic.twitter.com/eP6kDyEyKB

Chen stated that while this was all in good fun, the need to stop the spread of the virus is still very serious.

there’s lots of people out there (here in US and other countries) in not good spots. I’m taking it very seriously. But hopefully this dumb tweet added some brief humor / happiness into your timeline/day. Stay safe & healthy everyone.
