I expect BC saw the medical paper out of China (10 days ago?) indicating one thing that helped the patients was sleeping pills.  As I remember it, my thought when I read the paper was that the coughing kept people from getting enough rest for their body to do what it could.  Sleeping pills helped them to get the needed rest.  It might be that some of those anti-insomnia drugs are actually for those with the disease at home.

It might also be that this was a wave of buying meds to avoid not being able to get them later.  For instance, I switched from 30-day to 90-day prescriptions.

I did the same thing.  I've had a few lung-related issues with associated severe coughing.  Deep sleep really helped.
