Fear doesn't seem to be rampant in this area, the folks I know are just being cautious and sharing info but I've got to say that Jared as the COVID 19 czar is fear-inducing, look for an outbreak of profiteering by the Twitler clan.
As far as the crime rate going up or down I see sales on guns and ammo have spiked so you better leave people's T.P. alone.
