Authorities are taking any deliberate attempts to spread the coronavirus very seriously. There was a man in I believe New Jersey who was charged with terroristic threats after coughing and spitting on people and telling them they had the virus. This lady from Pennsylvania is charged with the same crime, but with a different kind of awfulness.
So, what happened earlier last week? This lady went into a grocery store. If you go into one, you'll find plenty of food, but some may have certain aisles wiped out. Unfortunately for customers, she went on to cough and touch 35 thousand dollars worth of food, including what I would assume a lot of boxed foods and canned goods along with bakery items and more. Obviously, the store had to throw all of it away and that is sad in itself, but they had no choice. Not worth risking other people's lives. The lady has been jailed and now has been charged.
There are non-believers in the virus. You're not going to make everyone believe. But this goes beyond anything. Not everyone is fortunate to have multiple grocery stores. Not everyone can afford the same kind of foods. And it goes without saying the store needs customers and they will take a big loss if supplies haven't come in since the incident. I believe this lady will be doing some hard time. Nothing too lengthy, but enough to make a point about doing something in a time of crisis and regretting it.
If you thought society couldn't get worse in a bad time, there's your example.
