The coronavirus disease COVID-19 has evolved from a regional inconvenience to a worldwide threat in the span of only a couple of months. Lockdowns in China have spread to neighboring Japan, while new cases of the virus are seemingly popping up out of absolutely nowhere. It can be frightening, and we should certainly be preparing for the worst, but Amazon is fighting its own war against sellers trying to make a buck off the hysteria.
As Reuters reports, Amazon revealed last week that it has been forced to pull over one million products from its digital shelves over claims that they could either cure or help prevent coronavirus infection. Those unprovable claims were enough to get the sellers barred, but they’re not the only coronavirus vultures at work on Amazon.
