NSTworld “It’s worse because people are buying in bulk, and some people are callous enough to resell what they’re buying” Covid19 panicbuyers
As dawn broke across the United States on Saturday, thousands of shoppers lined up outside supermarkets and grocery stores before they opened, eager for a chance to buy essentials that have flown off shelves as the country hunkers down to slow the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus.
More than 2,500 Americans have contracted the disease and at least 52 have died. The virus has infected more than 154,000 people worldwide and killed some 5,800 since it was discovered in China in December. “It’s worse because people are buying in bulk, and some people are callous enough to resell what they’re buying,” said Tevin Hunter, a sales representative at the Target in Union.
And with so many companies telling their employees to work from home if possible, the Best Buy in Manhattan’s Union Square was sold out of external computer monitors by late Thursday.
