Desperate rats are brazenly searching for food during the coronavirus pandemic, CDC warns

They are furry and they are furious – and they may be the most desperate of diners to yearn for restaurants to unlock from shutdown.
Rats, it seems, haven't been satisfied with curbside pickup or delivery during the coronavirus pandemic.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning that rodent populations – which rely on a banquet of scraps and waste in restaurant dumpsters – are spiking in certain areas. Restaurant trash bins are no longer overflowing, and the famished creatures are scrambling for new sources of food.

Environmental and health officials may witness an increase in service requests amid reports of "unusual or aggressive rodent behavior."

Rats have even resorted to cannibalism and infanticide, such as in the restaurant mecca of New York City, according to some reports.
