Shortage of Crucial Medications are Going to Kill Many

From my research, it seems as though hundreds of our medications come from China and India.

China is not manufacturing much of anything at the moment.

India has ramped up manufacturing of drugs, but said they're not going to export any and save them for their own population.

(You can find this information with an online search)

This essentially leaves the US without crucial medications that will be needed as this burns through the country. (antivirals and other medications they're using)

This is going to bad, IMO.

It brings me back, years ago to a Town Hall when someone asked the Village Idiot why we can't get our medications from Canada and he said it was dangerous.
