What worries me the most right now in regards to this CoronaVirus, the supply chain breaking down and the long term effects all this may have on my homestead is the fact that most, if not all, of Mr Golden D's heart medications are made; or come from, overseas.
Forget that these were our local stores' shelves earlier this week.
I have plenty of toilet paper, vitamins and supplements and I make my own hand sanitizer using my Aloe Vera plants that I grow. We also have full pantries and freezers; plus enough water for all of us here. I had even ordered the dogs' food (through Chewy) three weeks ago to last until probably May.
I have been prepping for any event in our life. We have enough to bug in here for a few months.
Mr Golden D takes seven pills daily for his heart. From blood thinners to a special pill that helps his body accept the stents he had surgically in-planted last spring.
Late last night our governor closed ALL schools in our state until April 5.
Even back in September 2019, the US was concerned about how overseas countries pretty much control the pharmaceutical industry. We are reliant upon them for our health.
And here from May 2019.
We just refilled his prescriptions (a three month supply) earlier this week- hence where the images above came from; so I do feel a little better. But what happens in 85 days when those prescriptions need to be refilled? Will there be some in stock at our pharmacy?
