Swine Flu Increasing Demand For Thermometers
The Guardian reports that thermometers have become hot items in the UK because of swine flu.
The operator on the swine flu hotline needs to know if I have a fever. No fever, no swine flu. So I venture out to buy a thermometer. The pharmacy at the corner has run out. I drag myself to the next chemist on the high street, but the shelf is empty: the last digital one sold yesterday. Nearby is a Superdrug. Sweating and coughing, I run through the store looking for thermometers. None.
I call Superdrug. They say sales of thermometers have doubled each week for the last three weeks. Lloyds pharmacy has sold 700% more thermometers than for the same period last year.
Earlier this year in the U.S. it was items like masks and hand sanitizer that were selling out.
