Success among Empty Shelves, a photo from Pennsylvania, Northeast

Photographer's Note

For high fever ilnesses, one recommendation I hear is that the patient should alternate betwen ibuprofen and acetaminophen, taking both at their regular intervals. So, when I went to the Target last Thursday, I decided to get one bottle of each. Unfortunately, I found out that others had already thought of that and the shelves of pain relievers were empty (upper frame). Careful investigation revealed that there was one end-shelf on which there were a few bottles of both ibuprofen and acetaminophen left, and I jusped at the occasion (lower frame)!

Ordinarily, I would not be uploading photos of medicine packages to TE. However, these are not ordinary times. I am uploading this collage as a journalistic entry to look back upon these days in the future, if TE survives that long, and remember the hoarding that went on during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.

The workshop for this entry includes:
Empty Shelves of Pain Relievers: Shelves of pain relievers were all empty at Target in Monaca, PA.
Another Day, Other Trophies!: The hunting trophies of March 26 laid out on the kitchen counter.

Boş Raflar Arasında Başarı

Yüksek ateş hastalıklarında, duyduğum bir öneri, hastanın ibuprofen ve asetaminofeni, her ikisini de düzenli aralıklarla alarak, değiştirmesi gerektiğidir. Bu yüzden geçen Perşembe günü Hedefe gittiğimde, her birinden bir şişe almaya karar verdim. Ne yazık ki, başkalarının bunu zaten düşündüğünü ve ağrı kesicilerin raflarının boş olduğunu öğrendim (üst çerçeve). Dikkatli bir araştırma, birkaç ibuprofen ve asetaminofen şişesinin kaldığı bir son rafın olduğunu ortaya koydu ve fırsata (alt çerçeve) atladım!

Normalde ilaç paketlerinin fotoğraflarını TE'ye yüklemezdim. Ancak bu sıradan zamanlar değildir. TE o kadar uzun süre hayatta kalırsa, bu kolajı gelecekte bu günlere bakmak ve 2020 Covid-19 salgını sırasında devam eden stoklamayı hatırlamak için gazetecilik girişi olarak yüklüyorum.

Hi Murat,
Interesting photo about this not ordinary times as you write ... well made photo with empty view and these two box. Concerning the treatment of fever, in case of suspected fever due to Covid 19 it is not recommended to take Ibuprofen but only Paracetamol or Acetaminophen. Tfs.

Hi Murat

Amazing times we have to remember so pictures of the event are welcome; on the first days it was almost impossible to come into the markets, the shelves were empty, now the situation is more or less normal (in the shops!)
I tick it to the corona virus theme

Best regards
CLODO

Ciao dear Murat, I hope that in a short time we will talk about this photo as a memory, for now it is a sad reality, but we hope it will end soon and only the photos will remain to remember one of the saddest periods of our life, ciao Silvio

Hello Murat,
Definitely a good journalistic photo of the empty shelves and some of the last packages of what used to be there. Their colours go quite well together. In The Netherlands you can't buy more than one package at the time now. I am glad I still have some at home, as I had the flu in early February, when I could still get pain relievers easily and I have some left.

Hello Murat, Interesting question is if coronavirus will kill also TE? The activity is now so low that I do not know the answer. Interesting reportage picture of these extraordinary times. I have read somewhere that ibuprofen is not good for the coronavirus. A haven't heard about Acetaminophen.
Yesterday, I went to the shop for the first time after coming back (my quarantine lasted 14 days). The shop looked like usual, I could buy everything.
Best regards MAlgo

Hi Murat,
so funny!!
or may be not!
I like very much your ideas for the time specific photos here.
Having said that, I read somewhere that ibuprofen is not recommended in caseof coronavirus infection so you are better off with tylenol. This reminds me my confusion when I moved to USA and I asked in pharmacy for paracetamol, a drug which is so popular in Europe.
Pharmacists haven't even heard that name in the USA.
I was shocked, later of course I discovered that the active ingredient is known in the US as acetaminophen, again a name unknown in Europe...
But then again Tylenol is the marketed name also unknown in Europe.
What I liked about US are the larger packaging. In Europe you always buy about 10 tablets while in the US you get the whole bottle for nearly the same price...
Congratulations!
M

I guess our drugstores are full of medicines yet, a medicine to malaria and other to lupus were being hunted here like a miracle.

take care
