Sorry, I'm Suddenly Thinking About Chocks. Remember Them?

Sales of Vitamin D supplements are way up, and it seems that it's because some research has very, very tentatively suggested that maybe, possibly, it could sort of have a little beneficial effect in fighting COVID-19 if, as some have guessed, a vitamin D deficiency is linked to the risk of getting coronavirus. Nobody knows for sure. But the very slightest possibility has people hoarding the stuff, which, and I speak on behalf of those of us who have to take Vitamin D for specific medical reasons, means people who NEED the pills have to fight the panic buyers for the stuff. Same happened with famotidine -- that's Pepcid to you -- and it's annoying as hell. You're not buying up every pill you read about, are you? (Washington Post)
