Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe company I work for has ramped up sharply the production of povidone-iodine swabs.
Povidone-iodine (brand name Betadine) is that orange antiseptic they paint you with before surgery. Probably most here have encountered it at least once. Funny thing, why should anyone suddenly realize they need a whole mess of it all of a sudden? Like, maybe, they're expecting to do a whole big bunch of surgeries because of something that happened recently?
I hope this is nothing. I really do.

Option 1: Trump is about to launch five or six ground wars, and they're necessary.
Option 2: Trump found a non-US buyer so he'll use government funding to buy them, sell them to the non-US actor and keep the money for himself.
