Re: Are you stocking up just in case?

I can’t understand the obsession either, unless it’s for the obvious, that we can’t manage without it. But then again, why stock pile it? Do they think shelves will be empty of just this one item if staff and delivery drivers fall down with the virus?

So far yesterday in my retail park all I could see they were short of was veg. Unless they have no staff to put the stuff out.

I was only joking with you Rox. I asked the question before toilet rolls became a National emergency.

Yes, that's true. i understand they had to print dotted lines to show how to cut them up too.

Right guys, listen up.

I'm hearing down one of my grapevines that there is the distinct possibility that there is a shortage of asthma inhalers more than likely. Possibly nebuliser drugs too.

I can't vouch for how kosher this is but ------

They are understandably putting themselves first. Attitudes and values have totally changed and those who don't wake up and smell the coffee will just get left behind.

In the case of the possible / probable inhaler shortage that is down to production shortage (not UK) as well as distribution network difficulties because of the effect of the virus.

There's also been a big time recall by GSK that is especially unhelpful because on top of that a number of patients with Coronavirus are being given them as part of the treatment with little evidence they do much good.

Re: Are you stocking up just in case?

News of inhaler shortages will now cause inhaler shortage panic. At least in UK most of us can't panic buy them ..not unless doctors are willing to prescribe a supermarket trolleyful at a time. That's just the quantity some people would get hold of if they could.
