Every year, people look out for the most trendy Halloween costumes to stand out from the crowds of sexy nurses and Michael Myerses. In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing that has happened to mankind, so some people have decided to turn it into a spooky getup.
Amazon has been getting reports of COVID-19 masks being sold in its marketplace. Some of the designs depict the microscopic likeness of the virus in the form of big round masks with terrifying antlers constructed into it.
Customers have called the masks “terrible” and “hugely distasteful” for making a mockery out of the unfortunate situation. In response, Amazon quickly removed the costumes from its online marketplace, per LADbible.
With a death toll of over a million attributed to the virus, maybe it’s best to stick with the face masks instead of the COVID-19-themed ones to keep yourself protected.
'Distasteful' coronavirus Halloween masks which are made in China are being listed for sale on Amazon's UK website.
