CRISES breed innovation and the current COVID-19 pandemic has forced pharmacists around the world to think of new ways of delivering medicines and services.
But pharmacists' creative thinking has not stopped at the dispensary, with one New Jersey-based pharmacy manager, Colleen Calish, developing a solution to ensure the safety of trick-or-treaters this Halloween.

Calish told Pharmacy Times that she had set up the slide at a downward angle - we all know how gravity works - and tied it to a railing outside her house, so that when a ghost, vampire or supervillian shows up at her door she can simply drop a treat down the chute, without compromising social distancing guidelines.
