Polar bears are already modifying their foraging to take account of the inability to prey on seals due to lack of ice.
It certainly is true. Polar bears have taken to hunting beluga whales instead of seals. They do this by standing on rocky outcrops and wait as the tide comes in. When a whale passes close enough it becomes lunch.

When a spike in cases inevitably reaches your city, don’t go stand in line with everybody else at Costco, rushing out to a crowded store filled with some ppl who no doubt are infected isn’t a good idea.
