Profiteering in the time of Corona

This 'Shaheen' hand sanitiser was at first 600 rupees and at the counter it was 350 rupees. I did not purchase it but was a little enraged at the profiteering. Hand sanitiser can be made at home using anything which you know will disinfect/clean your hands i.e. rubbing alcohol, dettol, vinegar, body spray, whatever is it at hand. Idea is to keep something like a hand sanitiser with you to clean your hands after you touch surfaces and hands outside your home in public spaces. Otherwise, soap and water is recommended to wash your hands frequently. 

Haresh told me that a box of 20 face masks is going for $ 20.00 in Monrovia. Normally, prices of nearly all consumer items are inflated because everything has to be imported into the country, including onions and potatoes and eggs.
