Apparently, some people believe Corona beer is linked to the Wuhan virus.

  • Beer manufacturer Anheuser-Busch InBev​ has reported that they are losing a huge amount of money because of the coronavirus outbreak.
  • Apparently, some people are associating their Corona beer to the said virus.
  • Demand for the beer have dropped in China following the spread of the disease in the country since December 2019.

It sounds purely ridiculous but yes, it’s actually true. And it’s just one of the many unexpected effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

We are, of course, talking about the massive profit loss facing the makers of Corona beer. The main reason for their disappointing earnings? Well their product unfortunately happens to share the same name with the dreaded virus from Wuhan, China.

Demands for Corona beer has dramatically dropped in China.

According to reports we’ve gathered online, brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev​ has confirmed that they have lost a whooping $170 million in profit, following the rapid spread of the deadly disease.
