Then everyone in line starting saying yelling at the woman without the mask and then her husband came over, who didn't have a mask and he started yelling back. Then three employees came over and we had about 20 people all yelling, I was waiting for the cops to come, but it finally ended when the employees gave the couple masks and they put them on.

Can you imagine if the scene you describe had been recorded and was out all over the world, like the last infamous TV encounter, now seen by millions.

By the way, Meta Minton was interviewed a couple of days ago on “All Things Considered.” If you Google Meta Minton and NPR, you will find the transcript, along with a 3-minute listen. The interviewer asks her also about how TV is handling the virus.
