Quite an interesting story. Most interesting are the comments bashing the "free market" system.
To say that pharmaceuticals are being produced free market is quite absurd. Of course the commenters are calling for the government to take over management of the production, stockpiling, storage, and distribution of pharmaceuticals.
I am old enough to remember how things operated in the Soviet Union. Shortages of EVERYTHING. All the time. Women standing in line at the grocery stores waiting for the bread to be delivered.
