Apart from myriad life lessons the coronavirus lockdown isteaching the world, there¡¯s a more disturbing realisation that¡¯s dawned uponus¡ªsome humans just don¡¯t seem to have boundaries and are utterly apathetic. We hear of people dying every single day, yet there are some whothink it¡¯s just fine to treat these dark times as a joke.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, some people who thought theywere ¡®invincible¡¯ decided to start a ¡®coronavirus challenge¡¯ where they lickedtoilet seats. And yes, it had to go wrong, 21-year-old American, who goes bythe screen name Larz who followed the weird trend actually ended up contractingthe virus!
Now again, a woman hailing from California went on a grocerylicking rampage and destroyed product worth Rs 1,37,236. A spokesman for the South Lake Tahoe police department, near the border withNevada, told AFP that officers were called to the Safeway store on Tuesdayfollowing reports of "a customer licking groceries" at a time ofheightened fears over the spread of the highly contagious novel coronavirus.
