The incident happened Wednesday at the Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township, according to a post on the small chain's Facebook page. Co-owner Joe Fasula said a the woman "came into the store and proceeded to purposely cough on our fresh produce, and a small section of our bakery, meat case and grocery."
Fasula said the estimated value of the lost food is "well over $35,000." He added police are investigating and the district attorney's office is involved. Fasula added efforts are being made to have the woman tested for coronavirus, though she is not believed to be infected.

hopefully she has been jailed for stupidity!!!!!  She should be forced to do restitution for the loss.

[bremer51]

Some might call that an act of terrorism.  She should be arrested and made to pay damages to the store.  Never a shortage of idiocy in the world.

This is terrible! Hopefully she gets a harsh punishment for such an idiotic thing to do!

A man from Missouri was charged for licking food items in a Walmart. What a dumb(bleep).

[berthabutt]

I heard about this.  A recent update is that the woman has been arrested.

Disgusting

[countrygirl12]

There was one who coughed purposely on employees and told them he had the virus. HE was charged with an act of terrorism.  People are beyond stupid!

The article reads as if she was a known nuisance by police & others, probably a mentally ill homeless person.

I saw a video of a woman pull down her mask & proceed to spit on all the elevator buttons somewhere in China - people are just sick. 

Be careful what you touch when you're out in the world & even when you touch your mail & packages. The virus stays on paper/cardboard for 24 hours.
