Did anyone hear about this possible conseqence from coronavirus

[ Edited ]

On the news they said not only the coronavirus is spreading but this is something no one thinks about!!

 

Since So much outsourcing of manufacturing is in China, they make things

like latex gloves, face masks, surgical tools, anti biotics and other prescriptions.

 

So there could be a shortage of these!!

 

Plus since the FDA evacuated personnel there that monitors the product methods to insure the safety of drugs being made, the personnel are not on the scene, who knows what could happen.

 

This all is very scary as well as the virus.

We have been looking for masks since we are taking a trip from Alaska to Michigan. So far everyone is sold out.

A possible anti-serum might take one year to formulate--that is my concern.   Certain viruses can live seven days on some surfaces (plastic/fabric/metal), therefore any product coming from China should be safe once it is delivered to the U.S.

The only thing  I think about is that 13 Americans have died from the Wuhan Coronovirus and 23,000 Americans have died from the flu....

Now why am I going to be concerned about what may possibly - not certainly - happen?

 

To me, that's something to worry about when it occurs.

I turn away as soon as I read or hear conjecture words like ‘could,’ ‘might,’ ‘may,’ etc. in any so-called news item. I also bristle when I hear that the news is being explained.  Just report it factually, please.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.
