But a medical care shortage isn't the only issue impacting the area. As Business Insider previously reported, popular retreats among the ultra-wealthy are dealing with not just a medical shortage, but also a food supply shortage — and Ketchum is also having this problem.
A representative for Ketchum's local grocery store told the New Yorker that it was now preparing for nearly 100 delivery and pickup orders a day noting that 10 orders a day is typically considered a lot for them. "To everyone coming here to 'ride out the storm,' please stay in for two weeks before you immerse yourself in our town,"
"Please don't buy a 3-month supply of groceries, leaving little for the rest of us. Don't be a plague of locusts.""There's no use in finger-pointing about where this came from. We've just got to get on with it and manage it the best we can," Neil Bradshaw, the mayor of Ketchum, told Buzzfeed. "We're on an antibody study. We're so bad that we're perfect for it — the perfect sample size for the rest of the country. That's felt good, because it's something that we can . We can try to lead the charge for our county, for our state, and for the nation in finding a solution.
