Rubel Hossain Blames Profiteers As Bangladesh Battles Covid-19

Bangladesh pacer Rubel Hossain has blamed some Bangladesh businessman for worsening the effect of the coronavirus pandemic in the country. As of Sunday afternoon, Bangladesh has registered 24 positive cases of the coronavirus, out of which 2 have died and 3 have recovered.

Bangladesh and many other countries have witnessed a sharp rise in the price of masks and sanitisers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic with many top brands’ products altogether missing from the market.

Authorities in Bangladesh have closed the country’s largest brothel for 15 days as a preventive measure to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The health minister of Bangladesh said that the government will lock down the most vulnerable areas of the country if the novel coronavirus outbreak worsens.

Rubel Hossain Disgusted With Bangladesh Businessmen

Rubel Hossain has expressed his concerns regarding the exorbitant prices being charged for preventive equipment like masks and sanitisers in the country.

“We are a greedy and ruthless nation,” started Rubel in his Facebook status.

“China went through a severe crisis recently but the manufacturers there had reduced the price of the masks, because they are human. Whereas with us, the moment we heard about corona, the mask worth Taka 5 is now being sold for taka 50. Mask of taka 20 is now ascended to taka 100 or 150. Because we are greedy people,” he added.

“In such desperate times I remember those heroes who fought together to get us freedom. But today despite being under a crisis we are not being able to stand as one. Why?,” said the disgruntled cricketer.

“Price of mask, sanitizers and regular items in the market is increasing. Damn to those greedy, profiteer businessmen who are creating artificial crisis. They are the actual coronavirus of the country,” concluded Rubel.
