Recently, while in the throve or responding to the new pandemic and restructuring the pharmacy internal communication and delivery processes to reassure his clients, Joseph took the time to penned a thorough and informative article on what life is like for pharmacists at the front line in treating victims.

"Pharmacies are beacons of care during uncertain times like these. Operating an independent pharmacy during this time requires working 10-12 hours shifts, Monday through Saturday. The local universities are online, and my pharmacist interns are not allowed to complete their residency/internship/clock hours. In order to mitigate employees transferring Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) to other employees and customers, my relief pharmacists are all at home. Being on the frontline of this pandemic gives me a clear view on how social distancing has impacted foot-traffic in the pharmacy, increased shipping of medication and affected how I counsel customers. Changes to store hours and over-the-counter (OTC) items are updated daily through social media, text messages, and storefront signage. When customers enter into the pharmacy without a mask and gloves, they are given sterile 70% isopropanol. Foot traffic has increased for purchases on hand sanitizers, mask, gloves, and multivitamin supplements for immune support".
