This is a topic that I cannot believe is an issue in the great country of the United States of America but it is. This year we found out that our great country could stop working. The covid-19 pandemic took hold and the country went on lockdown for 2 full months. During this time we saw supply of medical supplies be very limited as our economy began to shutdown. Then the week after the lockdown riots began across the country. This turned out to prove that the pandemic was actually not real and the spread of the virus was a cruel joke on us citizens who suffered. We lost jobs and lost supply of essential items and lost the freedom to leave our home and work regular jobs. What I learned was that my ostomy supplies could stop arriving and stopped shipping. Why on earth would this happen? It is because the majority actually roughly 95% of all medical supplies come from and are imported from China. This was ground zero for the virus and shipping was limited. Then riots took hold and started to shutdown cities. Rule of law is still not in place in some cities and the impact of this has been the worst possible thing. Truck drivers which actually supply the majority of the country are starting to refuse to drive into these cities that lack rule of law. The criminal rioters are looting the trucks and hurting or killing the drivers in the process. The trucks are being destroyed and no police action is being taken. What this means is that if you have a stoma your ostomy supplies are not getting into that city. So if you live in one or have a chance of it happening in your area you must prepare. It is important to be prepared for the shutdown of supply. If you need these items to live and thrive then it is simple. You must have extra of these items on hand. Now I suggest not simply going out and buying three months' supply all at once. This is called panic buying and actually hurts the market, and can harm others if they are not able to get the regular supplies they need. But if you can purchase them slowly over time to build up that is prefered. But if you are in a city that may shut down, you have to do what you have to do. Do not count on police, cities, or anyone else to help you. This year showed us all that the government does not care about the citizens even though we supply all the funding for the government. Don't forget and don't forgive it if it happens, vote to stay safe and vote for people who will care.
