stock here: this date is before the date in which we who pay attention, really knew the game. Sorry for the grammar and spelling….this was AI generated from a scanned document. The author, assumed a female, says:

I’ve suspected that the Chinese would not shut down their manufacturing and quarantine
multi-millions of people without a pretty darn good reason.

She does not have Ivermectin or HCQ on this list. For me, those are now stocking items.

The Master Medical Shopping List

The Master Medical Shopping List–updated 6 March 2020.

Instead of what was supposed to appear today (and will now appear next week), what follows is
the post I didn’t want to write.
I absolutely loathe all the “coronavirus this” and “coronavirus that”, “there’s nothing to see here,
folks”, and “we’re all gonna die!” articles. I’m pretty certain we’re all gonna die someday, and
there’s probably something more than nothing to this novel coronaviru”s. vtayue it fizzlesout in
Asia with only a few infections in the Western Hemisphere. Maybe not. Bui fbr some time now
I’ve suspected that the Chinese would not shut down their manufacturing and quarantine
m-ultimillions of people without a pretty darn good reason. And there ir;;;y
to escape the
effect it will have on goods available in the unitea States. And despite the words to the contrary,
they–the Chinese, the CDC, the WHo, the US and everyone else–are not getting a handle on
this.
So in light of current events and some panic buying of masks that has already begun here, I
decided that now would be a good time to post a master medical shopping list with suggested
quantities to last a family of four for a year. With the exception of the mfsks, most everything
on this list should still be widely availablein this country. if you are going to do some panic
shopping anyway, why not do it early and beat the rushi
This list is just a guideline; no one can predict what any given family will actually use in a
year’ Hopefully none of it, right? Tailor the list to yourLmily and your budget, your known
medical conditions, and your climate. when it comes to antibiotics, consideiwhether you can
get by with less–are you willing to use herbal medicine? If so, you can probably reduce the
quantities somewhat. If you are really careful people, you may not need so many tsand-
Aids’ Maybe you just don’t get headaches or “otar. ft or. things could be reduced or eliminated
from the list.
As this is a list I just cranked out, I’m sure several items are missing. I’ll add them in as I
remember them or as readers prompt me in the comments below. ihl, tirt is only for the
pharmaceuticals, because most of tlem come from China, as well as the common medical
supplies and tools, which also primarily come from China. The herbs and improvisational
supplies will have their own lists later.
I’ve already written blog posts about most of these items. Some are in the queue. A few have
yet to be written’ If you have questions about anything, type the term into the search box on the
upper right and hopefully you’ll find something that odrc u, urr*”r. If not, ask away in the
comments below.
