The outbreak highlights “severe, longstanding, and unresolved vulnerabilities in our capacity to produce life-saving pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices for our own citizens,” Missouri Senator Josh Hawley wrote in a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “This is unacceptable.” on Sunday that around 150 prescription drugs are at risk of shortage if the outbreak worsens, citing a list of at risk drugs compiled by the FDA that includes antibiotics generics, and some branded drugs.White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, is working on medical supply chain issues related to coronavirus and said yesterday on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that too much is produced overseas.

Don’t worry guys. Trump said it’ll be over by April. Case closed!

It's a pretty legitimate concern I'd say. My wife is T1D, that's a bit stress inducing.

The supply chain disruption will be an eye opener for sure as we are starting to feel the effects now in the trades. realDonaldTrump you ran on America first how about putting some policy behind your mouth? No reason these goods can’t be produced in the USA.

Not just pharmaceuticals, we need to look hard at what is essential to our survival & bring the manufacturing back home. ie--all sorts of medical supplies, steel, etc. This virus mess may prove to be valuable in the long run.

America made the coronavirus and have the medicine for it.

Hmmm....Too bad you didn't think about doing anything about this for the first 3 years of trump's regime.

Why, is their supply of Oxy in jeopardy?

While behind the scenes, Republicans bought stock in pharmaceutical companies that make masks and gloves

I wouldn’t be surprised if they raised drug prices too
