COVID card sharks

  NY Post

With these cards, you could be playing a real dead man’s hand.

A group scammers tried to make big bucks by selling useless cards that they falsely claimed would ward off COVID-19 and free users from having to wear a mask, prosecutors said.

The so-called “Virus Shut Out Cards” were meant to be worn around the neck on a cord and act as “air sanitizers” that killed the coronavirus — but they were really bogus snake-oil protection.

“The brazenly false claims allegedly promoted by the defendants about their product potentially endangered the public not only by claiming to protect against the COVID-19 virus, but also by exposing users to the health hazard posed by a misbranded pesticide,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Seth DuCharme in a statement.

Po Shan Wong, the general manager of JCD Distribution Inc., and Zhen Wu, the company’s sales manager, allegedly sold the cards in minimum quantities of 50, charging $9.50 each, over the phone and online from April to July, the complaint states.

JCD allegedly claimed on their Facebook page in Mandarin that the cards were “portable space disinfection and sterilization” devices that emit chlorine dioxide, which they touted as having a “sterilization rate at 99%.” Chlorine dioxide — a gas at room temperature — is actually a bleaching agent and a pesticide, officials said.

Now we know why no one in the Rose Garden at Amy Coney Barrett's “coming out party” were wearing masks or were socially distancing - they must have been wearing “Virus Shut Out Cards”. Yet another reason for the President to complain about China.

Feel free to move to China. Xi Jinping will welcome you with open arms.
Live there for a while, maybe you will start appreciating the US.

Their Covid cards are no more of a scam than Cuomo's and DuhBozo's lock down mask wearing kubuki Covid will kill you kubuki theatre of the hypochondriac. NYC is filled with neurotic hypchondriacs which is why the population worships Covid and will stay locked up wearing masks indefinitely.

Sounds about right to me they started the virus and invented the cure. China has the answer for everything.

This fucking senile incoming president is talking about shutting down the whole country. When are people going to wake up and stop being told what they can and can't do like little children and start thinking for themselves.

This fucking idiot governor is now telling telling us how many people we can have over for thanksgiving. When is this shit going to stop.

They are trying to control every aspect of our lives like in Soviet Russia after WW2.

Pretty soon we will be waiting in lines for food and toilet paper.
Oh I forgot we are doing that already. It's a slippery slope we are on. Wake up and stop being brainwashed folks before it's too late. WAKE UP

For Wall Street, the bankers.
