Trip to pharmacy [View all]

[Chainfire]

Worried about the spread of disease? Don't go to the drug store.

My wife and I are old, we both have health issues. For the last 13 days we have been totally isolated on our property. If I get the virus, I will get the morphine instead of a ventilator, so I am taking this damn seriously. Today, I needed to go get my wife's insulin refilled, and at the same time, we needed an OTC med. It required stops at two pharmacies. (Walgreens and CVS)

I go through the drive thru at both places. The pharmacies were very busy with lines inside and at the drive thru. Patiently waiting I finally got to the windows. I had a complete view of the pharmacy area of the stores. The clerks serving the drive thru was back and forth between the inside counter and the window. Nobody in the areas were wearing masks or gloves. There was no hand washing between customers. I had to sign for the meds by reaching into a filthy plastic basket to use a filthy ink pen, that all of the people ahead of me had been handling. I drove up 15 feet and bathed in alcohol and still felt dirty. I came home, took the meds out of their outside packaging, trashed the packages and scrubbed up again.

When the virus raises its head in this community, the pharmacies will be the number one spreaders.

And this is why the USA will not get a handle on this virus, it is just not being taken seriously until scores of people, locally, start dying and it is too damn late.

Sometimes I wonder if the whole damn country isn't on dope.
