The pandemic saw the best possible side of humans, people helped each other selflessly, at times putting their own life in danger
1/
On the other hand, unfortunately we witnessed the worst possible behavior of the humans: black-market of Oxygen, extorting money for bed allocation, hoarding and selling medicines for 5x-10x price, profiteering in the time of pandemic.
2/
Some employees of Kimia Pharma of Indonesia took the greed to the lowest level.
Passengers traveling domestically withing Indonesia were required to provide a -ve report for #COVID19 before boarding the flights.
Kimia Pharma sold the nasal swab test kits at Medan Airport.
3/
The cost of the test kits was approx USD 14. Just to make some extra money the employees of Kimia started repackaging used nasal swabs and reselling them.
Unbearable to even think, but that caused many people to get infected.
According to the police, this dirty scam was going on for about four months, possibly affecting 10,000 passengers.
5/
Two lawyers who repeatedly flew through Medan airport in recent months plan to launch a collective civil suit against the company for damages of 1 billion rupiah ($69,000) for each affected passenger. #greed in times of pandemic
