Adilisha Patrom opened up a coronavirus pop-up shop in northeast Washington to sell supplies like face masks and hand sanitizer.
If you ran out of hand sanitizer, she's got a few extra. One customer didn't bring cash and her pop-up shop hasn't been open long enough to accept card, so she tried to give him a travel-sized bottle.
"I don't want this to make people panic, but I want people to question, 'What is going on around me that I don't know about?'" Around the country, brick-and-mortar stores have sold out of similar supplies like face masks and hand sanitizer, and online retailers have seen exorbitant markups. Surgical masks don’t provide YOU respiratory protection against diseases like #Coronavirus. They protect others from YOUR cough.
