Take medicine when you are sick, and prepare medicine when you are not sick. The propaganda of the epidemic in the past three years can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially seeing and hearing, the sick are quarantined, the community is sealed off, and everyone is already in danger. Now that the epidemic is fully liberalized, the uncertainty of the epidemic is still there. Experts are constantly suggesting, and there are various interpretations on the Internet. People’s fear of uncertainty detonates in their hearts, so they rush to pharmacies and stock up on medicines to be prepared. Once the flames of war are ignited, online information such as out-of-stock medicines ferments, causing more tension. As a result, pharmacies are sold out, pharmaceutical factories work overtime, drug prices increase, supervision takes action, and people buy more.

Judging from the list of medicines snapped up, these medicines were commonly used to treat various colds in the past, and they were readily available on the medicine shelves in the past. Now it has become an essential drug for the treatment of the new coronavirus. From this point of view, the toxicity of Omicron has been reduced, and it is no longer so terrible, and it can be dealt with by ordinary cold medicine. So if this is the case, there are a lot of people in the country who catch a cold every year, and medicines are not so in short supply; and judging from the incidence of the new coronavirus, there may not be more people than people who catch a cold, but why is there such a rush?

It may be that the horror of the new crown virus has cast a shadow on people’s hearts. From the original strictness to the current looseness, it is difficult for people to relax for a while, so they will flock to it. The emergence of anything has its logic behind it, just like the so-called hole as big as the tip of a needle, and the wind as big as the bucket. There are many similar things in the past about the current situation surrounding drugs. It seems that this phenomenon has become normal, maybe a gust of wind has passed, and it will naturally be calm.
