It seems that the virus has brought out xenophobia among many people. I have been surprised that people from areas of the World or certain states have been viewed as pariahs. It started out with views toward Chinese Americans and has spread to fear of people from New York. I heard one person talk disparagingly about the number of cars from New York in a grocery store parking lot. They didn't seem to have an understanding of why someone would travel from New York. Fear can harden people to the needs of less fortunate people. For fearing people from one state to another rather than showing concern or offering help, unfortunately, is also one side of the story of this virus.
