He Has 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer and Nowhere to Sell Them
On March 1, the day after the first coronavirus death in the United States was announced, brothers Matt and Noah Colvin set out in a silver S.U.V. to pick up some hand sanitizer. Driving around Chattanooga, Tenn., they hit a Dollar Tree, then a Walmart, a Staples and a Home Depot. At each store, they cleaned out the shelves.
Over the next three days, Noah Colvin took a 1,300-mile road trip across Tennessee and into Kentucky, filling a U-Haul truck with thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and thousands of packs of antibacterial wipes.
Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon.
Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.” To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic.
The next day, Amazon pulled his items and thousands of other listings for sanitizer, wipes and face masks. The company suspended some of the sellers behind the listings and warned many others that if they kept running up prices, they’d lose their accounts. EBay soon followed with even stricter measures, prohibiting any U.S. sales of masks or sanitizer.
Mr. Colvin does not believe he was price gouging. While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each, he said people forget that his price includes his labor, Amazon’s fees and about $10 in shipping.
Mr. Colvin said he was simply fixing “inefficiencies in the marketplace.” Some areas of the country need these products more than others, and he’s helping send the supply toward the demand.
He thought about it more. “I honestly feel like it’s a public service,” he added. “I’m being paid for my public service.”
- fuck this asshole!dorf
- Lol "his labor"??? What a piece of shit********
- meh. I sold ps3s for 500-600 bucks on release. It's a risk with their capital to buy and sell. Same could be said with any asset class********
- as world events unfold. Retailers can limit or price gouge themselves and set terms. If price of an item rises buying more risk to try and corner a market********

I'm getting pretty tired of this Covid-19 topic and all of the hysteria around it ... but, this is proper no bueno:

Holy fuck, Italy 3500 new cases and 175 deaths today. Not getting better there.

- are you okay robo? you seriously trolling this thread?fadein11
- Fiesta happens in South Texas. It's the byproduct of Germans and Mexicans co-mingling for 300 years.robotron3k
- South Texas, what does this have to do with the Italy cases I posted about?NBQ00
- nothing, he's just trying to reiterate his latinex for some reason._niko
- yeah...italy‘s curve is steep af. and it spreads south north...spain,switze... implementing drastic messures to stop propagation.uan
- The deaths are horrible but they give no details at all. It's actually ridiculous numbers but Lombardi has big Chinese pop. So I didn't come from 1 tourist.robotron3k
- Expecting anything of sense or class coming from robo is a fool's errand. ps eat shit robo.garbage
- As in one Chinese tourist went to Milan and gave it to some old Italian man, etc. It's been percolating there for some time, now every death is Corona.robotron3k
- Official RoboTroll®utopian
- Meanwhile in Taiwan, 50 cases 1 death. Think about that. Taiwan, is next to China, same language, culture, intertwined with businesses + families.shapesalad
- Italy recently joined China's belt and road initiative, and was under pressure to allow flights from china, and not really check people coming in.shapesalad
- @shape i don't think that's true. it's more like a cultural thing what allowed this. Chinese population in Hungary is much more densested
- and just opened 3 direct flights to china before the outbreak, but the people are homophobic and compliant, so i think it's more about the general behavior.sted

we'll it seems we're on a partial lock-down, updates pending tonight. jerusalem.
no schools, no public stuff, no sports, all businesses are on lock-down except for food and other essentials.
- if your goverment does a partial-lockdown and does it cause of numbers and is prepared, it means your goverment reacts to the virus - which is a good thing.api
- anyway, crazy times - we are in eu also locked in a way cause most countrie borders are closed - crazy times!api

I can't believe how many people still post crap like "oh it's an election year" as if like all major sports and Broadway and all events got shut down just to help someone have an advantage in a presidential election. I guess Italy and most of the world is in on it too?

So what do American do in this case?
Test costs $1300 for people who don't have insurance.
For people with insurance, some companies said they will cover the cost of the test but not the treatment.This is really unbelivable for us who have universal healthcare.
Is USA really going to watch their citizens die because they dont have money?
Or is there an exception for this case because it's a pandemic?- replace "people" and "citizens" with "consumers" and you'll have your answer_niko
- test will be "free of charge". covid related healthcare will not be covered so those without insurance will have to incur significant debt.dorf
- TEST IS NOT TREATMENT FFSmonospaced
- Treatment is rest and fluids. This isn’t a big killer. Stop acting like it is. That is the biggest problem right now ffs.monospaced
- ^ LOL.
I'm sure all the people in the at-risk groups will be heartened by your sound conclusion.Continuity - treatment could be hospitalized and placed in a respirator, in that case its not just fluid and rest...Nutter
- I’m referring to the part about watching Americans die. It’s not a killer it’s a bad flu.monospaced
- The test will confirm a case but at that point treatment in a hospital is only good for the at risk groups.monospaced
- Tell me what you think of this, Mr It's a Bad Flu:

- there are already drugs in testing that can be used to treat it, and herd immunity plays its part later. a few months and we'll have sorted it.kingsteven
- think about
testing
manufacturing
and logistics.sted - one is an existing ebola drug by gilead (one of the biggest drug manufacturers in the world) they've had positive results treating covid-19 in japankingsteven
- not a fan of gilead but could potentially have it manufactured and distributed worldwide in weeks for trials saving millions of elderly patientskingsteven
- i did read it makes you bleed from your ass though. anyway, there are a few. and more is being understood about how and why older folks react badlykingsteven
- which can be used to develop better treatments with existing drugs too.kingsteven
- but yeah, the WHO advice will change to 'keeping the healthcare systems at capacity' rather than 'defeating the virus' at some point...kingsteven

@shapesalad quick chart for you:
Green: Italian
Blue: Korean
Black: DeadStarting from the first 100 infected in 28 days.
(South Korea is a country in the Asian region of the world, pretty close to China :)
- yes, the point being, they both should have done what taiwan has/is doing. And singapore + hong kong. If you're not afraid of china, and do what's right you winshapesalad
