From sidewalk shouting matches to politically fueled online sniping, tempers showed signs of fraying in some U.S. cities as the nation stepped up its response to the coronavirus pandemic
NEW YORK - .
“Flatten the curve, go home! Flatten the curve, go home!” a man in New York’s Brooklyn borough yelled out the window of a four-story apartment building, as people walked on the street below. Three neighbors soon joined in the chiding chorus, which echoed advice to slow the fast-spreading respiratory disease that has infected nearly 179,000 people globally and killed more than 7,000, including at least 74 in the United States.
The response was sudden and severe, she recalled: “We are trying to have a nice Sunday, so why don’t you just fuck off!” “People just don’t seem to care about people who might be vulnerable,” said Becky Raatz, Ella’s mother. “Some people are not taking it seriously – when I see the photos of the people cramming into the bars, I can’t believe it.”
Tina Raymond, 53, of Warrington, Pennsylvania, said she is deeply angered by what she sees as a nonchalant attitude. She knows the downside better than most: her 13-year-old son, Tim, died in 2010 during the swine flu outbreak.
