| WASHINGTON, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The US Drug Watchdog says, “Five weeks ago a medical director at a top 50 US Metro Area hospital called us to tell us that surgical masks in his city were in short supply. A hospital in his city was on the verge of running out of surgical masks. They were forced to turn to the Department of Homeland Security to obtain the surgical masks that were needed. This was five weeks ago! It is now almost impossible to find surgical masks in most US retail stores. There is also a shortage N95 respirators as well as surgical ware for hospital workers. Part of the problem is many to most of these products are produced in China. According to a recent Department of Commerce study---97 percent of all antibiotics in the United States come from China. “At this moment much of China’s ability to produce antibiotics, surgical ware, respirators or other medical products destined to the US has been curtailed by the Coronavirus. What about the next time a super flu or worse is created or develops in China? How do US consumers get their antibiotics and or how do hospitals get badly needed surgical masks or surgical ware?” https://USDrugWatchdog.Com The US Drug Watchdog believes the Chinese reaction to the Coronavirus has been appalling. Rather than being transparent and allowing the WHO and the US CDC into China to see what was happening-----China started changing numbers and or manufacturing incorrect information about those impacted. The group’s worry is what happens the next time there is a new Corona type Virus? What happens to US consumers if the antibiotics made in China are no longer available in the United States because China is no longer shipping because of a military or trade issue? They say, “We think the USA would be much, much better off making all antibiotics, surgical masks and other vital medical equipment-because it’s too risky to continue to do business with China-and for that matter any other country in the world.” https://USDrugWatchdog.Com The US Drug Watchdog is appealing to the Trump Administration to create pharmaceutical or healthcare products economic prosperity zones in specific states or regions in order to all together replace China when it comes to the production of antibiotics, any type of medicine or medical apparel and or masks. This way the next time there is a-new Corona type virus US consumers and or healthcare workers will not have to live without what might be lifesaving drugs or medical supplies. https://USDrugWatchdog.Com The US Drug Watchdog is also suggesting all airlines stop flying people from China temporarily to Paris, Rome and other major cities until the Coronavirus in France, Italy and the USA stops increasing. They say, “We do not think the people of China or the Chinese government care about sharing-giving their Coronavirus to people in any other nation. At least temporarily please prevent people from China from flying anywhere. If you are about to send your son or daughter to France or Italy for Spring Break--think twice about it. Is betting the farm on the European Union having their-act together---worth it? Ask someone in Milan, Italy. Please don’t bet the farm on China stepping up to the plate-and doing the right thing for the USA, Europe or anywhere else-it won’t happen.” https://USDrugWatchdog.Com
