Affected by the epidemic, even though policies have been relaxed, people still dare not go out at will. Shopping malls and supermarkets have not ushered in retaliatory consumption. On the contrary, major pharmacies and clinics are overcrowded. What is even more worrying is that it is difficult to find antipyretics. Many parents have to beg for help in order to find antipyretics for their children and the elderly.
I believe many people have seen such a video.
Late at night in Zhejiang, the child of a second-born mother had a high fever at home. The mother tried her best but still couldn't buy antipyretics, so a scene appeared on the screen:
The mother leaned against the car window, holding the phone and shouting uncontrollably at the other end of the phone: I don't have medicine, I can't buy medicine anywhere, tell me where there is medicine!
It is very sad to see the mother beating her chest and feet, and I believe that all parents can understand the anxiety, helplessness and self-blame in the mother's heart.
Yes, why can’t I buy a bottle of antipyretic medicine after visiting all the pharmacies on the streets?
During this period of time, there are many messages like this in the mother group in our community: My friend has Merrill Lynch, 800 a bottle, who wants it? Repost A box of ibuprofen , the date is new, the price is very high in extraordinary times, 300 per box, private message me if you want...
Although many people are scolding some people in the group for the country's financial difficulties, there are still some people who spend high prices to buy "life-saving medicine" for the elderly and children. The money spent is not because they are stupid, but because as parents, we don't want to see the elderly and children suffering from fever...
In this case, many people began to be grateful that they had the awareness to stock up on medicines.
Before the spread of the virus , some people bought antipyretics and cold medicines with great foresight. This allowed them to have medicines in hand and not panic after being infected by the virus.
It is a good thing to prepare medicines for yourself and your family, but if you stock up on medicines in large quantities, or even take pride in stocking up on medicines, then this approach will inevitably cause those who really need medicines and have high fevers to be unable to buy medicines, and the prices of medicines will continue to be raised.
On the Internet, a mother shared the results of her medicine hoarding on a social platform.
This mother has stocked up on 7 bottles of antipyretics alone, as well as other virus-related drugs. In the copy, the mother wrote: The strategic supplies are sufficient.
originally thought that her plan for a rainy day would be praised by everyone, but what the mother did not expect was that her medicine hoarding behavior attracted a lot of criticism in the comment area.
Some people say that there is nothing wrong with stocking up on medicines, but stocking up on 7 bottles of antipyretics is a bit excessive. If everyone is stocking up like this, then where can people who really have a fever and need antipyretics go to buy them? This shows that this mother is really selfish.
Some people also said that in extraordinary times, what we need to do is to help each other, instead of showing off our superiority online even when we know that everyone is short of medicine.
“I really can’t understand those who post medicines online. If the purpose is not to help others, then they are bad and selfish!”
“A mother in our building stocked up 5 boxes of antipyretics and posted them online. One time, her neighbor’s child had a fever and asked for medicine in the group, but the mother remained silent. The epidemic is really a magic mirror.”
“ My child drank half a bottle of antipyretics after he had a fever. I only need to prepare 2 bottles of antipyretics for my children at home. It is a waste to have more, and it will easily increase the price of medicines. "
As a mother, I believe that what many mothers care about most during extraordinary times is the health of their children and their families, and it is also a sign of responsibility for mothers to prepare medicines at home for rainy days.
But when it comes to preparing medicines, we also need to be rational. We can prepare commonly used medicines and must-use medicines for the elderly and children, but there is no need to hoard medicines in large quantities. If it is not for the purpose of helping others, there is no need to show off the superiority of hoarding medicines online. After all, during the critical period of the national fight against the virus, no one will think that stocking up on medicines is an honor.
