TSHF and Medical Care

About 1 in 20 to 1 in 30 Americans NEED regular High Tech Medical Intervention in order to keep living normal lives. This includes Diabetics, Heart Patients, People with Other Deficencies, Kidney Dialysis, Transplant Patients, Nursing Home Patients, etc..

In other words the risk of an additional 5% die off of people in the US exists "IF" the Ebola situation causes a collapse in our High Tech Medical Supply Chain even if those people do NOT contract Ebola.

Let's not forget to mention all those who are taking (and probably addicted to) mood-altering and pain-relieving prescription drugs. Although a lot of them will die from purchasing "home-made" ersatz substitutions for their drug of choice. Just like many were sickened or died from "bath-tub gin" and drinking Sterno during Prohibition.
