<How could companies adjust their production schedules not knowing what the demand blip would be by those who still believe that there will be Y2K problems.> Well Jim ... people who got extra prescription drugs over the past few months didn't cause the problem. They actually helped out ... because JIT (Just in Time Delivery) made appropriate adjustments. It's the last minute "hoarding" that causes problems. That's always why I've been upset how media and government has handled this. <Of course I resent hospitals who are stocking more then there normal inventory of medicines ("just in case"), and causing problems for you and your family.> You and I are on totally different ends of the spectrum here. I'm happy the the hospitals have stockpiled certain drugs. My concern is that the supply may not be adequate. I hope I'm wrong. As I recall from that "Y2K Hoax Thread", you've been advising senior citizens about Y2K stuff. What did you tell them to do about prescription drugs? If they got the same call that I got from the pharmacy today ... "only 2 pills left" ... they'd get pretty nervous, wouldn't they? Fortunately, like I said ... my prescription is not life threatening. How about those prescriptions that are life threatening? I honestly hope your right. But, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Cheryl
