Coordinated cold and flu medication shortage: UK, USA, Canada…

Only a chlorine shortage in May.

Only a turkey shortage in November.

Baby formula shortage still ongoing.

Now during cold and flu season- surprise! 3 different countries, just found using a simple web search.

I go to the store weekly, 3 different counties as I am in the boonies so I switch it up. Slim pickings everywhere.

Cold and flu meds, pain relievers hard to find. Especially for children. What are you seeing, GLP?
