There’s been a lot of ‘chatter’ over medical products made in China, and bluntly....they carry the bulk of medicine production in the world right now. India has some items that it produces and might be able to increase production.

Every business depends on China. Every one.

Hope you have a few months of meds and enough food to last.

Good luck.
