Sanitizer gel, Masks, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, wipes and anything else that is essential in the battle to hold off infection for as long as possible.
All of it is now scarce and will remain so until the venues used by the profiteers finally do something to stop them. I understand some scarcity is because of hoarding, but it goes way beyond that now. Two ounces of sanitizer gel selling for $17 while every asshole in the world, and his brother, is constantly trawling the local retail outlets and buying up every last drop to flog for an outrageous price on Amazon or Ebay.
Meanwhile, Amazon and ebay are issuing bullshit press releases extolling their efforts at combating the profiteers and how they are hard at work, cracking down on these criminals. BULLSHIT! In a few minutes of searching Amazon or EBay, I can find hundreds of sellers charging 100 X retail or more for these items.
They are doing nothing to stop this because it's turning a nice profit for them. I'm fortunate that I was able to get enough of these items for my family to use, back when I first learned of the outbreak, early in the second week of January.
Even the healthcare consortium for which I work is extremely low on sanitizer gel, masks and sterile wipes. We have none of those items for our offices and the suppliers have told us that we can expect back orders. In another month, my family will have to do without, as will my office mates and coworkers.
Jeff Bozos couldn't give two shits about the dire situation that he is helping to create. All he has to do is issue another press release about how hard they are working to crack down on the profiteers and the shortages they are creating and the mainstream media gobbles it up like hot buttered dork. |
