The NYPD is investigating what might be the citys first coronavirus-related homicide after a woman hit an elderly Brooklyn hospital patient in the head for violating social distancing, sources said Sunday.
Victim Janie Marshall, 86, died less than four hours after the tense confrontation with 32-year-old Cassandra Lundy in Bedford-Stuyvesants Woodhull Hospital, cops said.
Marshall, who was at the hospital for a bowel obstruction, innocently grabbed a metal stand in a hallway near a bed where Lundy, a seizure patient, was sitting around 2 p.m. Saturday, police sources said.
Lundy lashed out, complaining Marshall wasnt following coronavirus social distancing guidelines, and allegedly slugged her in the head, knocking her to the ground, according to police sources.

That said, I only brought up the issue because the article said she has seizures, which can be incredibly debilitating.

I realized long ago you didn't understand my reasoning for bringing up that possibility, but it's still something to think about.

Some guys in Maine are unlawfully barricaded and threatened with violence by a mob of locals over coronavirus fears.
Even more disturbing is the fact that there are people who feel that these victims brought it on themselves.
