• So the best answer anybody has is 'stockpiling' its not really all that reassuring from my prospective I and don't have an friends or family that need insulin. I'm not sure that answer would set anybodies mind at rest.

  • Does insulin last a long time? I guess it's fairly resilient. Presumably there must be other drugs where 'stockpiling' won't work .

    I wonder how they're planning to triage these stockpiles; I can't imagine they've put a lot of work into thinking about it.
    I wonder how and where they'll store them, since I don't imagine we currently 'stockpile' the entire nation's supply of drugs anywhere - it must be a pretty impressive pharmaceutical facility they've built.
    I wonder how long they've been planning what drugs will be needed, and how much of each to hold, and how to hire the technicians and management to store and handle them properly - it must have been a fairly significant epidemiological feat .

    Or I wonder if it's just another ill-thought out, off the cuff soundbite spat out by someone who had to come up with a quick answer.
