All across America, shelves in supermarkets are empty and it has led to the #bareshelvesbiden hashtag trending on Twitter. Here are some examples of bare shelves across America this week.

That includes truck drivers, grocery store workers and other professions vital to the retail and grocery industry. Pharmacies across America are selling out of the over-the-counter cold and flu medicines and COVID-19 testing kits are running dry across America.
In Philadelphia and surrounding areas, CVS and other pharmacies have run out of cold and flue medicines.
