The Coronavirus

[Bob Butler 54]

I have been having my handyman pick up groceries every week or two.  Today he came in with an account of people and grocery workers both developing a hostile confrontational attitude.  I have heard that in a few cases nationwide people have spit into produce causing thousands of dollars of supplies being thrown away.  The police are apparently charging it as attempted murder.  I have also heard of hoarding complaints.  The stores have responded with increased monitoring of shoppers, and of picking out of items being purchased if they think someone is hoarding.  In my case, the husband and wife team were shopping for two households, and thus they bought two of some items.  The store employee grabbed into their carts at the self checkout without explanation or permission and a manager had to be called.

Just as soon avoid that scene.

Is it just the Plymouth Massachusetts area?  Are others seeing this?

The idea in The Theory that people would let go of the unraveling selfish attitudes and bind together in a national cause seems reportedly to be missing.
