After the big turn of epidemic prevention measures, everyone is waiting for the first infection, because we all know that after coexisting with the virus, sooner or later, we will get new crown .
While waiting for the virus to arrive, we seem to be in a state of madness in purchasing medicines. Even if people who don’t want to buy medicines, when they see others stocking up medicines, they see that everyone on the Internet discussing what medicines to buy and where to get the goods, they are not willing to open the online shopping app to search for those popular medicines.
Is it necessary to prepare medicine?
I saw someone riding an electric bike, and a whole box of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules was placed on the car. He should be very happy that he had grabbed the goods, but the pharmaceutical company behind it is probably happier than him.
Whether medicine is required depends on the situation, and most people do not need to buy medicine in advance.
First of all, this virus has been popularized many times. Since 2020, some experts have said that it is a self-limiting disease , and it is even more so now. In most cases, targeted treatment is not required after infection, and there is no medicine to cure it. If there is one, large pharmaceutical companies around the world will not have any difficulty in developing special medicines. We can heal ourselves by drinking water. We prepare medicine like crazy, but we won’t be able to use it immediately after buying it. Instead, it will make people who really need medicines unable to buy medicine, which is not beneficial except for making pharmaceutical factories profit greatly.
Nowadays, many people believe that the power of this virus is only equivalent to influenza, and it is indeed the case in most cases. If we have a cold, we will go directly to the pharmacy to prepare some medicine, and basically we will not prepare medicine in advance. Why do we have to rush to follow the trend to stock up on the Omickron , where the virus is vulnerable to the virus? Moreover, cold medicines cannot prevent colds, nor can they prevent Omickron. It is hard to imagine a group of adults who are not sick and stock up on medicine. What kind of mentality is that they want to get sick quickly, or are they thinking that they will not be able to buy medicine after they are yang? For snatching like
, no matter how good the production capacity of in pharmaceutical factories is, we can’t buy medicines, and we can’t buy them before we get sick.
Most of the people infected with this virus are mild symptoms and asymptomatic infections in . At the extreme, if you take medicine or not, the symptoms of fever will disappear in three days. If you take medicine or not, all symptoms will disappear within 7 to 8 days.
We can use the epidemic in Guangzhou as a reference. There are only 4 of the 160,000 cases in Guangzhou, with a severe case rate of 0.0025%. The doctor has basically never prescribed medication for mild and asymptomatic infections who were pulled to the temporary cabin. Although some patients had fever and headaches during the temporary cabin, they naturally subsided. They did not take Lianhua Qingwen or ibuprofen . The most common thing patients in the temporary cabin was to drink water and rest.
The crazy drug stockpiling in the past few days reminds me of the salt stockpiling incident in 2011, which is exactly the same as the isatis root stockpiling incident in 2003. In 2003, SARS broke out. We did not find a way to eliminate the virus, nor did we have targeted drugs. However, when the public heard that traditional Chinese medicine could be cured, isatis root , as a familiar Chinese medicine, was the first to be robbed, and was crazily robbed by people. At that time, there was no online shopping platform, and people rushed to the door of the pharmacy to queue up to 3 kilometers away. Now, we just lined up the team online and replaced the medicine with Lianhua Qingwen and others.
I am not saying that you can’t buy medicine. Ibuprofen does have the effect of relieving symptoms. Although it cannot be cured, it can also make the body feel a little better. However, most people may not even have fever symptoms after being infected in the future. What's the use of stocking up these antipyretic drugs? These medicines are not difficult to buy, and not all those who buy these medicines live in the mountains and forests. As long as you don’t sweep the goods in a swarm, you can buy them anytime and anywhere at pharmacies and online shopping platforms. Artificially creating a sense of tension and creating an atmosphere of difficulty in buying medicines is not a good thing for individuals and overall epidemic prevention situations, and it will only bring chaos.
Let’s stop and stop first when snatching and hoarding drugs. Since the virus has been regarded as an equivalent to a "cold", when it comes to buying medicine, just treat it as a "cold". How do you buy cold medicine in daily life and how do you buy cold medicine now.
