The CDC (short for Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) of the US has issued a warning regarding the aggressive behavior of starving rats toward humans.
As COVID-19 limits people’s time to dine out, city rodents and rats are seeing their usual food source runs dry.

Before COVID-19 struck, thousands of people would go to restaurants, or commute from place to place, leaving behind waste and left-over wherever they go. This has long been where rats find their food. And now, as people spend more time at home, rodents find it hard to get something to eat, this is why they are becoming more and more aggressive toward humans.
The situation is so serious that the CDC has to issue an official warning telling people to be aware of the abnormal behaviors shown by rats.
That is not all. As fleas are common on rodents and rats, places infected with them may have to deal with these flightless insects.
In April, a rodentologist Bobby Corrigan said as rodents are moving their territories, they raged civil wars with other communities to get the best feeding ground. This has led to cannibalism when rodents look for food in new grounds.

This is something humans have done before. When we conquer new land, we fight to death with people of that area. So it comes as no surprise that rodents are doing the same thing.
And as the strongest army of rats will win, when they get really hungry, they are expected to resort to the kind of behavior we cannot imagine.
