Thread Name: BS: COVID mentality strikes again (hoarding)
Subject: BS: COVID mentality strikes again
I recently graized an elbow and even giving it plenty of surgical spirits and air there is an infection that won't subside. All very minor but after a week, maybe it is a sign, at my age, infections won't go away as quickly. I asked at the local chemist (pharmacy) for anti-bacterial plasters**. Nothing! Tried searching online and even Boots (most ubiquitous chain) don't stock. I did find a shop chain that will sell, but not stock - delivery to their shop 5 miles away, next day. We will see tomorrow!

So - COVID mentality kicks-in. How many do I need? Better Buy 3 boxes. (Well you never know - there may be a panic on them any time soon)

** They are impregnated with a silver compound, renowned for its anti-bac.
