How a Pharmacy Handles Mask Hoarders and Coronavirus Fears

 Isabella Kwai’s article titled, How a Pharmacy Handles Mask Hoarders and Coronavirus Fears, focuses on a small pharmacy, Kit Pharm in Hong Kong and how they are dealing with the Coronavirus. The article reveals that the demand of masks has increased to the point where there are shortages. The demand has also caused the prices of masks to double. Kit Pharm is a smaller store that does not have the large quantities of goods like a bigger chain store would have. The owner of the pharmacy cannot believe the prices to replace her diminished stock of masks. Due to short supplies, the owner is encouraging her customers to not panic and only buy what you need. A common practice throughout virus-stricken area involves people stockpiling masks and buying them in massive bulks. The coronavirus also has created lifestyle changes for the owner. For example, she no longer takes public transportation to limit her exposure to various germs. 

This article relates directly to our “Virus in the News” class because it focuses on the social response to the coronavirus. The shortage of masks in China is alarming, but I do not think you can place blame on individuals stock piling masks. If they have access to them and the virus is currently presenting more questions than answers I would also buy as many masks as I could to protect my family and myself.

Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine from DR. Obela the greatest herbalist doctor in the world and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine from Dr Obela .. I have read about Dr Obela the great herbalist doctor from African who can cure disease with his powerful herbal medicine. for the people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes,HIV/Aids, SARS virus Cancer, Also, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv, Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
