A vaccine? A cure?

I've read that this corona virus is a strain of the same virus as the common cold.馃

In other postings here some are lamenting the fact that many drugs used here in America COME FROM CHINA! and that some pharmaceutical entities have even shut down here.

That is correct. Most of America's drug manufacturing has been out-sourced to China long ago, thereby making America a Nation dependent on China for many things such as pharmaceutical drugs, Walmart store supplies, as well as car tires, car parts and all farm tractor manufacturing destined for American use. All of it has been outsourced to China, thus the lamenting you have been reading about in here.

Of those few remaining pharmaceutical drugs made within the USA, a common component found within most common drugs is actually manufactured in China and then shipped to the USA where it is then used to make American-manufactured drugs.

That component from China however, has recently stopped flowing to the USA just like everything else has stopped flowing, meaning that ordinary pharmaceuticals made in the USA are now NOT being manufactured for American use, do to the supply chain interruption from China of that one vital component that is common to all common drugs.[/c]
