Precautions put in place to slow the rise of coronavirus cases in New Orleans has inadvertently led to a rat problem for the Louisiana city. With restaurants closed save for take-out service, far less food waste is being discarded in the city's alleyways, driving the local rodent population out into the open to search for scraps.

"I turn the corner, there's about 30 rats at the corner, feasting on something in the middle of the street," one local restauranteur told CBS News' Omar Villafranca. He said he had "never" seen anything like it before.
quote:
To control the population, city crews started putting bait in the gutters and placing rat traps throughout the French Quarter neighborhood. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the rats were going "crazy."
Claudia Regal, head of the local pest control board, expressed concern about the possible infections the rat infestation could spread to the local homeless population.

This disease passing through the rats and back to humans again is probably how the world ends

Nope.
It would go: bats to humans to rats to fleas back to humans.
Don't forget the fleas.

have city workers line the streets with pellet guns and give them a $1 bonus for every rat they kill
it gives them something to do and serves the public good

Wow New Orleans is a gross place who would have ever known.....
Also sounds like they have a great opportunity to knock out a large portion of their ray problems. Poisoning them should be easier than ever.

I’ve saw a rat one time over on Toulouse that was bigger than a cat.
