The Unspoken Dangers of the Corona Virus Outbreak:
It WILL affect you, whether you believe it or not.
Whether or not Covide19 (aka the Novel Corona Virus) breaks out in the United States or not, we are still headed for a major situation here in the United States. The doom most don’t realize is already here. Our dependence on outsourced manufacturing looks to be our downfall.
The US is wholly dependent on China for a wide selection of prescription drugs (including those shown to be effective in treating this disease). The nation of China has literally thousands of drug manufacturers with numerous small factories located throughout the nation. While China accounts for 70% of the production market, the remaining drug companies heavily rely on them to supply the necessary raw materials for production of their own medical products.
Does your drug contain acetaminophen? China is the world’s number one supplier. Do you take Vitamin C? China produces over 90% of it. Tetracycline? 90%.
In the early 2000s, China’s government subsidized drug production, undercutting American manufacturers. So these big US corporations simply laid off workers and shifted production to the East.
Johnson & Johnson cut close to 13k jobs, Pfizer laid off 2k researchers. GlaxoSmithKline has more than 2000 employees in China. All the big names are tied to China — Roche, Novartis, Merck, Eli Lily and many more. So even if a big American drug company produces your meds, chances are good disruptions in the supply chain are going to cause problems.
With thousands of deaths, entire cities under quarantine, and harsher inspection of materials being imported from China – there is no question that we are headed towards shortages and supply delays. In the coming months, possibly years millions of Americans could experience significant delays in getting their prescription drugs.
And it’s not just meds. China manufactures a number of drug related products like bottles, needles and pumps. And some of the drugs aren’t going to be manufactured elsewhere because China has exclusive manufacturing agreements. Sadly many of these agreements are binding for drugs that assist with anesthesia, cancer and even HIV/AIDS.
Even if you were to gear up factories in other countries less affected like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan or Vietnam, you still need a wide variety of raw materials to be supplied from China.
(A list of Chinese Produced Medications will be listed at the end of this article for your reference.)
Another item looming on the horizon due to the outbreak? A shortage of surgical masks.
Now this may seem trivial but it’s anything but. Surgical masks are a staple for the medical community and a necessity for those in operating rooms across the country. Most people believe that masks in surgery are used to protect the patient from the hospital staff. It’s actually the opposite in most cases. Masks are used as protective devices to keep the staff safe from surgical contamination. Because of this hospitals use thousands of these masks per week, and where are they produced? You guessed it, only one factory for surgical masks lies within our borders. The rest, China.
So what happens if masks become unavailable? Then hospitals are forced to make a difficult decision; A) ask workers to operate without the safety and protection offered by a mask, opening themselves up to massive legal liability. Or B) Halt all non-life threatening surgery until more masks become available.
It’s a major issue that must be addressed by hospital staff moving forward. At the same time, it’s good for you to be aware of as well.
I urge you, take a look at your current situation and honestly assess your preparedness and self-reliance. Do you have a medication that you absolutely need to survive? Can you afford get a 90 day or larger supply? Can you ask your doctor to increase your dosage and then take the original dosage to build a buffer?
We are headed for difficult times. Be ready. Have the items and more importantly, the information that you need to overcome what could be the darkest moments of our generation.
Because of this our team is working diligently to get as many copies of “75 items most preppers overlook” into the hands of those wise enough to see the plague approaching. For a short time we’re offering this amazing resource, normally $17 or more, for only $7.
If you need a quick guide to reference to make sure your family is ultimately prepared for this biological event, then this resource is for you.
Please, prepare now – and help others open their eyes to the danger as well. Feel free to share this post with friends and family to help them better understand the danger.
