The coronavirus outbreak has, unfortunately, inspired many to cash in on the pandemic as they stay at home. T-shirt designs centered on social distancing by third-party sellers are now dominating websites like Amazon and eBay.
The garments are plastered with phrases like “I was social distancing before it was cool” and even “Straight outta Wuhan,” in reference to the city the virus is believed to have originated from.
Making sales out of a tragedy appears as an ill-intended form of exploitation, which was why Etsy has blocked any sales of products related to COVID-19 to ensure no one is attempting “to exploit the developing coronavirus situation.”
