It didn’t take long after the announcement of a pandemic that people freaked out and cleaned stores out of hand sanitizer, toilet paper, soup, bread, milk, and other essential goods.
Fights broke out in stores, and people were wrestling, kicking, and punching each other.
Shoved into the back of squad cars.
Plenty of hand sanitizer to go around at the police station after having their fingerprints taken by officers wearing latex gloves.
Dumped in a holding cell to cool off and think things over.
A hacking, wheezing bag lady, sitting on a bench in the corner.
And so it spreads.
