Hi YouTubers, I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you very much for joining me.
I thought this was very important to know, especially
with the school season sooner to be reopening for
many of us here in the United States.
And then they spread the viruses amongst
themselves, not only cold, but different cold,
flu, influenza, things like that.
And our children pass it on to their
siblings and babies and grandparents, et cetera.
Here on Twitter, CBC News says that Toronto
Six Kids Hospital is advising parents of changes
to access some of the overcounter, fever and
pain medication for children due to a nationwide
supply chain shortage of Advil and Tylenol.
City News in Toronto has a video, I'll give you
a link to it down below about this shortage.
And they're reporting panic buying, but when the people
go there, there is nothing on the shelves.
Often pharmacies have like a larger container that
they can fill for a prescription with the
recommended dosage for the age of the child,
the weight of the child, et cetera.
But they went to three different pharmacies and
even the pharmacies don't have the stock bottles
that they can fill into smaller containers.
They are having a hard time getting the medicine.
Also, now they're saying you do not need a
prescription to buy children's cold and flu medication.
And the hospitals are giving out these
prescriptions as a safety measure so that
the children can get the medicine.
Now, my daughter, who works at the local
Walmart said that during the peak of the
COLVID virus there at Walmart, they ran out
of the tile wall and sudafed for children.
I told her, when she gets paid, you better go
out and get some extra because school season is coming
and children always come home with some sort of virus.
So I did a Google search and it looks like
everything I found so far is strictly for Canada.
But now it's also hitting the generic chewables,
which of course you can't give to babies.
Here's another article for Ontario shortages there.
They said it's nationwide there in Canada, Global News
has an article, it looks like shortage in Alberta.
CBC says it's not just Tylenol.
Calgary pharmacists say other cold and flu
medications are also in short supply.
Now this is from a week ago, the
shelves were empty, said one Calgary man of
a recent attempt to purchase a cedar medicine.
So any type of cold medicine, even under
generic names, are evidently in short supply.
We have seen how inflation has
made prices skyrocket, problems in receiving
goods with the distribution and transportation.
The Farmers Alma is saying that for me in my
area is going to be an extremely bad winter.
So I'm already trying to think
of things to prepare for that.
Many people are saying that it
seems like it's already fall.
And here it is August, and it's more like
September weather across many parts of the United States.
People need to think ahead right
now for what they may need.
When school starts or when winter comes, make sure
your automobiles are winterize, your homes are winterised.
What you're going to do if the power
goes out or a secondary power source?
You can't use gas generators because
of the threat of carbon monoxide.
You can't use a barbecue in
your home because of carbon monoxide.
So this item here, pain medication for children
to reduce their pain or a fever.
Yeah, it might be something they're not thinking about
until it's needed and they go to the store
or the hospital and it can't be found.
So I thought it gives heads up.
Please stay safe.
Put your comments down below and
I'll talk to you later. God bless you. Bye.
