Some online retailers are exploiting the coronavirus outbreak for personal profits, reports The Hill.
Raygun, based in Des Moines, Iowa, is selling a “Quarantine Bingo” T-shirt for $23. The gear is “the best way to play your favorite game at a safe social distance,” per the website.
The company said 35 percent of sales from its “pandemic shirts” will go to local food banks.
TeePublic out of New York has a slew of coronavirus-themed T-shirts for sale, including some that say, “Wash your f---ing hands,” “wash your hands and don’t be racist,” “coronavirus you too shall pass,” and “yes, I’m Asian. No, I don’t have coronavirus.”
Most go for $20.
WWE earlier this week released “I Wasn’t There” t-shirts, a parody of the annual, “I Was There,” t-shirts to commemorate halting its event. The cost: $27.99.
The organization was forced to shut down Wrestlemania to avoid having a mass gathering as the country tries to slow the spread of coronavirus.
On Etsy, customers can buy a $12 “self-quarantine wine glass” and a $16 gift box that comes with the note, “Quarantine succs without you!”
Etsy in early March started cracking down on coronavirus merchandise that “attempt to exploit the developing coronavirus situation.”
“In order to keep our marketplace safe, our team is prioritizing taking down any listings that claim to protect against coronavirus," an Etsy spokesperson said. "In the past few days alone, we have removed thousands of items that make such medical claims. We have also taken down hundreds of items that attempt to exploit the developing coronavirus situation. Our teams continue to automatically and manually review and remove items that violate our policies.”
