There have been increasing reports of cannibalism and infanticide among rodents.
. Whereas rats usually stuck to the commercial areas of dense urban areas, where there was plenty of food to be had, they’re now increasingly venturing into more residential areas.
“Jurisdictions have closed or limited service at restaurants and other commercial establishments to help limit the spread of COVID-19,” the CDC said. “Rodents rely on the food and waste generated by these establishments. Community-wide closures have led to a decrease in food available to rodents, especially in dense commercial areas.”
With this Coronavirus, the city of New Orleans is on lockdown. And Bourbon Street is empty and full of rats & mice. Rats even know how hot Bourbon Street is.
