One of the main industries in Puerto Rico is pharmaceutical. Some shortages in recent years, IV bags for example, have been directly due to problems in Puerto Rico. I’ve had to stand there and give meds IV push that were meant to be given from an IV drip. We’ve even had shortages of normal saline bags. Some generic drugs also come from PR.

You are absolutely correct that China is a major supplier of meds and raw materials. My point was just that it’s more than production shutdowns in Asia that are a problem.

Medication shortages are not new but they have certainly been worse in recent years.
