Chinese has accused the U.S. of deploying the coronavirus in China.
And now they’re threatening to withhold medicine made in China from the United States.
Xinhua, the state-run media agency, claimed in an article that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls, which would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
“If China retaliates against the United States at this time, in addition to announcing a travel ban on the United States, it will also announce strategic control over medical products and ban exports to the United States. Then the United States will be caught in the ,ighty sea of coronavirus,” one translation said.
“Though the United States is a global leader in research, much of the manufacturing of life-saving drugs has moved overseas. The last American manufacturing plant to make a key component in penicillin shuttered in 2004,” Fox News reports. “Since then, Chinese pharmaceuticals companies have moved in and taken over, supplying between 80 percent and 90 percent of U.S. antibiotics, 70 percent of acetaminophen and about 40 percent of heparin, according to Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.”

“ It will be at least a matter of several weeks .
It ’ s unpredictable , but if you look at historically how these things work , it will likely be anywhere from a few weeks to up to eight weeks , ” he said .

An emergency declaration would allow a state to request a 75 % federal cost-share for expenses that include emergency workers , medical tests , medical supplies , vaccinations , security for medical facilities , and more , according to a letter Democrats sent the president earlier this week .
Only a few emergency declarations for public health threats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and only two have targeted disease outbreaks , when President Bill Clinton in 2000 declared emergencies in New York and New Jersey in response to the West Nile Virus .

Meanwhile, President Trump is set to declare a national emergency on Friday over the coronavirus outbreak, according to reports. By declaring a national emergency, Trump will invoke the Stafford Act “to open the door to more federal aid for states and municipalities, according to two people familiar with the matter,” Bloomberg News reports.
“The move would allow the government to martial additional resources to combat the virus, and also marks a symbolic turning point for the president, who has repeatedly compared the coronavirus to the seasonal flu and insisted that his administration had the outbreak under control,” the news agency reported.
