As coronavirus(COVID-19) spreads its wings across the world, panic among people can be seen in the craziest ways possible. Right from toilet paper scarcity to hand sanitiser being sold at an exorbitant price, people are doing everything in their capacity to protect themselves from the coronavirus outbreak. World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked people to wash their hands more often and maintain distance from people having a cough and fever. People have been urged to maintain hygiene and protect themselves from any kind of germs, however, this one kid from Leeds, UK took cashing on the infection to another level. While people are not refraining from bulk buying toilet roll, soap, and food in case emergency, the market is running out of stuff to sell, especially hand sanitisers. This teenage boy decided to use this as an opportunity to make a little extra money for snacks.
