Retail Pharmacy

[Your515Friend]

Retail Pharmacy would seem a good bet during the pandemic: lots of brick-mortar sites for testing, supply of drugs, neighborhood connections. But the group seems to be at the bottom of several companies' list. Due to challenges from e-commerce? Reliance on India & China for the active ingredients of the drugs? All three of the "big three" are definitely down today (6/10). Any insights?

Due to unknowns in the healthcare sector and what a new administration may do.

Maybe the pandemic is pushing more people away from brick and mortar pharmacies to mail order? My health insurance pricing is much better for mail order so I've been doing mail order for all of my prescriptions except for one-offs, but maybe the pandemic is pushing people more people to do that to minimize trips out of the house.
