BTW - to put the antibiotics amount in perspective, there are 190 million doses of antibiotics administered daily [I got that number from the main web page on antibiotics resistance of the American College of Physicians (internal Medicine)]. Lets assume that the US uses only approximately a number proportional to our slice of world population - 1/3 of a billion of a 6-7 billion person world, so around 1/20th that 9.5 million doses per day. Costs per dose vary widely depending on the specific antibiotic but it looks like$2.00 per dose for an older one at a government discounted price - that means our 9.5 million daily doses costs $20+ million dollars per day, even at a $1.00/day it is still $9.5 mil per day - so $11 million is a little over one day dosage.
Just food for thought.
Assuming $2.00 per dose may be a bit high or a bit low... without knowing anything about what they are stockpiling for...
The vast majority of ilnesses affecting the general population can be treated with relatively inexpensive antibiotics. The higher-end stuff is more often used on a patient population at high risk for resistant bacteria, such as individuals with chronic health problems who have been in a healthcare facility within the last 90 days.
So there is a WIDE range of number of doses that can be obtained for that $11M. From maybe 30-40 million doses of amoxicillin, Bactrim or Cipro to as little as 1 million doses or less for some of the higher-end oral antibiotics like Avelox or Levaquin.
I think if you're assuming $2.00 per dose for an "older" antibiotic, the .gov is getting screwed. Hardcore.
There is some weird coincidences as far the all the training scheduled around this time, supplies, leave being cancelled, ect..
