Canada - Coronavirus COVID-19

[Iggy2020]

I hope folks can donate their supplies.


Getting so many emails from hospitals asking if we have anything and we are basically out. I wish we had known how large this would be, we could have limit it a bit more even though we don't sell to the general public. It is going to take a few more weeks or months to get supplies and we already have most if it promised to the feds.

I am pretty sure others companies are in the same boat.

"Provincial Health Ministrer John Haggie said the province is keeping liqour stores open -- through telephone and online orders -- rather than shutting them down completely -- as a harm reduction measure.

"One of the challenges we have -- is we don't know with any great detail the prevalance of alcohol habituation or use in the community on an individual basis," Haggie said.

"There is a feeling, given the fact that three times more people a year die
from alcohol-related causes as from opiate deaths, that we have a significant challenge from numbers.""
