A local PD shared a similar message yesterday;

@Puyallup Police Department

Due to local cases of #COVID-19, PPD is asking all criminal activities and nefarious behavior to cease. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime & thank all the criminals in advance. We will certainly let you know when you can resume your normal criminal behavior.
Until then… #washyourhands & #behaveyourself

The Salt Lake City PD tweeted that a few days ago. Dunno if they originated it or not. I’m increasingly anti-police, but I thought that was funny.

That may be fake, but apparently terrorism is sheltering in place.

Also, some ransomware authors say they’ll stop targeting hospitals during the crisis (Forbes, possibly paywalled).

There is no Puyallup in Washington and I’ve never been there and don’t even know how to pronounce it, no matter what you and my Seattle family may claim.

Reminds me of the Baltimore mayor asking residents to stop shooting each other so as to save beds for virus patients.
