Medically supplies for giving IV fluids

So my neighbour is a doctor, and I figured if I could buy some bags of saline and IV giving sets, of the shit really hits the fan and treatment is supportive only for the Coronavirus, they can pop round in their face mask and hook us up. If it’s that or death and hospitals are closed etc.

I know people going to developing countries buy IV sets to take or if going up Everest etc, but I don’t know where to buy them from. Any suggestions?

Also what else?

If you are anywhere near conscious and able to swallow, you can be rehydrated orally - even if it's a small syringeful at a time of water (or rehydration fluid even better).

If you are worse than this, than IV fluids won't save you in a context not including other frequent monitoring/care/airway protetion (ie. you'd need to be in hospital).
