The sum of money allocated for donation will be shared among five San Francisco-based food banks, which is expected to go a long way in the fight against the deadly virus in the state.

The former CEO of Ripple, the second-richest personality in the crypto space, Chris Larsen, who recently recovered from the COVID-19 infection, passed this across via his official Twitter handle a couple of hours ago.

Impact of COVID-19 on Groceries Availability

Since the highly contagious and pathogenic virus COVID-19, was first discovered in Wuhan China, it has been able to turn all activities across the world upside down.

Many businesses are forced to short their doors, as a necessary measure meant to contain the spread of the virus. The closedown of businesses has led to a shortage of food, which brought about the hunger crisis in the Bay Area of San Francisco.

A number of people are becoming jobless, leading to food banks’ struggle to meet the increasing demand for food.

In some parts of Africa, there are reports of increasing social vices and hooliganism, due to the struggles to survive in the middle of total lockdown.
