The survey, it turns, out, does not say this!. What it says:.-38% of beer drinkers say they wouldn't buy Corona (for any reason at all, including, presumably. they prefer other beer).-4% of people who usually drink Corona say they would stop.
38% of Americans wouldn't buy Corona beer "under any circumstances" because of the coronavirus, according to a recent survey. Just to be abundantly clear: There is no link between the virus and the beer.
