Yeah I’m guilty as charged. Hard to be a standard American consumer and avoid Chinese made products. Me and the family are now making a commitment (not because of COVID-19, more so due to myriad business, ethical and social malfeasance, which I’ve become more and more aware of) to avoid Chinese manufacturing as much as we can. If that means paying 2x the price and I can support an America or western company I’ll be happy to do it.

I buy used stuff a lot, since it goes directly back to an American and no new Chinese good is produced.
But, it is pretty hard. Not everything is available (or wanted) used.

It’s more like 90% of ALL of our drugs have base ingredients made in China.
