FTA:
“The Baxter plant in North Carolina, together with a B. Braun plant in Florida, produces about 85% of the nation’s IV fluid supply. The shortage caused by the Baxter plant’s temporary closure has forced hospitals to postpone surgeries as a desperate measure to ration supplies for patients in the most critical condition.”
As much of a pseudo nationalist as I am, itd be a safer bet to setup IV fluid production in Arizona instead. Somewhere like Havasu or one of the other Colorado towns.
