One of the big stories up here in the Commonwealth (God save it!) is the local pharmaceutical "compounding center" that managed to send out enough fungus-infested (Ick!) steroid that 130 people already have contracted meningitis from the stuff, 12 of whom have died. The noxious potion went out to 23 states and now 13,000 souls are waiting to see if the hammer will fall on them.
Five inspectors.
A thousand facilities.
The dead hand of Big Government certainly has been lifted from these job-creators.

[...] Massachusetts has just five inspectors for more than a thousand compounding pharmacies that make drugs.

Not that it couldn't happen with one inspector for every center; it's just much less likely. When I worked for the landscape department at the U of Mo, the state's chemical safety inspector for the region had a certain number of inspections to be made and was supposed to vary the locations of those inspections on each run. Since we had half a dozen people on staff who were licensed to apply chemicals, the inspector made a stop at our facility every run, and counted each of our six licenses as a separate stop.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
