What is a shortage?
It’s when essential products are lacking; not enough food, a lack of housing, heating, clothes or health care.
A shortage happens when demand outstrips supply. Stocks go down.
In case of drought, it’s a lack of water. A strike at a refinery? We’re out of gas!
To fight Covid-19, huge quantities of masks, hand sanitizing gel and life supporting drugs and medicines are needed.
