I’ve written about hoarding food and I decided that I’d might as well reveal that I’ve been hoarding medicine too. It’s primarily antibiotics which can be obtained overseas fairly easily but I’m also given a set of antis every time I travel internationally in the event of sudden illness.
So why medicine? There’s no particular shortage of medicine as far as I know and I’m not concerned about the production of pharmaceuticals but I am concerned about the distribution and delivery model of medicines in our current gas guzzling trucker infrastructure.
Like I wrote about before, it’s not too implausible for a hurricane or two to barrel through the gulf of Mexico hitting the US gulf coast and damaging or wiping out a refinery or two which in turn would cause the price of oil/gas to spike into the stratosphere. It’s during disasters that a peak demand for medicines and other necessities (e.g. food/water) hit the hardest.
As Murhpy’s law suggests, I’d end up needing medicine when disaster strikes the most and I want to be well prepared.
Food for thought…..
