Hey Everyone, I was reading a story about the projected shortages of medicine that the doctors using during intubation. In addition to mechanical and PPE supplies we also need to implement steps to increase the valuable liquid medical assets and medicines that they will need to operate during this pandemic and beyond. I was thinking we should start sourcing more options for medicine to ensure that each nation has what they need to save lives. In addition for short term needs I was wondering if dental offices use similar products and perhaps we can use them to bolster the hospital supply. If we work together we can create a national medicine supply and then coordinate to create an international one. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
