The info not to miss

The United States and Canada have been tracking the trajectory of a Chinese balloon flying at high altitude for several days.

After a passage in the sky of Alaska and western Canada, the machine discovered this Thursday was spotted above the state of Montana (United States), at an altitude much higher than that of planes commercial according to the Pentagon.

The Ministry of Defense specifies that it would be “intended for surveillance” and that its “current trajectory would take it over sensitive areas”.

The Pentagon considered shooting it down, then changed its mind in the face of the risks posed by the debris to people on the ground.

Faced with these accusations, China ensures that it verifies American information and called today not to "escalate things".

To address future risks of shortages, the government should allow price increases for certain key generics to incentivize manufacturers to continue production.

In addition, the Minister of Health has asked the sector to draw up a "list of all essential drugs" for the month of June and plans to launch a "drug plan" to prevent any future crisis.
