Here was friday morning... My wife works in the health system, so she needs to continue as long as they can. I am more or less forced to make home office / vacations / extra hours reduce for the next 5 weeks, take care of the kids and work in the afternoon / evening when she is back home.

lol, do you remember your post before some days to my post related to CV?

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Yes... and what do you want to say?
Because I fail to understand which kind of relation are you seeing that makes the question relevant.

Yes, I know... and when did I say something different making it worth for you to start this?

I am forced to stay at home and take care of the kids, I already have infected people in my social circle and my wife is more at risk than you and me together, but she still goes to work to help other people.
My mother passed away in November due to another illness, but if she were ~~alife~~ alive, she would very probably be a victim of CV because she was damned weak.
But I still try to continue living my life as good as I can, that is what I told you in that message.

And I continue saying the same.

Or am I missing something along the lines?

Stores ramping up

I just had an email from the dominant retail chain in our area that they will be closing 3 hours earlier for the time being, to give their staff more time to
a) sanitize the public areas and
b) to restock shelves in view of the significant increase in turnover they are experiencing.

My daughter works in the deli area of the store and she is one of the staff members who have been temporarily re-assigned to goods receiving area where incoming items are processed, to help with the processing of the significantly larger volume of incoming shipments.

I am sure that this is a pretty universal situation in the country, that will help to alleviate the current shortages being experienced, at least to some extent.

Until the delivery chains break... that is going to be the point when things will go bad quickly.

And I would like to be wrong.

You're not wrong per se, but the fact is that delivery chains are unlikely to get too badly broken (unless you can't live without a new iphone), so it's not a priority for Joe Public to fret over.

Agreed! And here where we are the most critical food items (most vegetables, bread, eggs, etc.) are produced in areas not far from the city. So these items do not need to be transported over long distances. Other items (canned foods, paper products, etc.) are a different story!

You are lucky.

Not every place are like this. There is many areas that have got specialised in only a product to maximize the benefits... those are the ones that will get hit hard if there are logistic problems.

Why will they break? The people who make toilet paper still have to feed their families so they'll keep making toilet paper. The trucking companies need to feed their families so they'll keep trucking toilet paper. Grocery stores need to feed their families so they'll keep selling the toilet paper.

The world has gone mad.

Example #1: The logistic company moving something from one land to another gets closed by quarentene.

Example #2: The driver of the lorry moving A to B has a simple cold or maybe the "normal" flu, but it is controled in the frontier and they think might be a corona, lorry stoped and driver in quarentene.

Example #3: Some people working at the harbour gets infected, the harbor closes due to quarentene.

I know, those examples are things that might be repared, but the delay could be big enough to have shortcuts on concrete products.
And in extreme cases the chain could break.

Only because the people wants to feed their families, it doesn't mean that they get allowed to.

Then we buy from a different country.

You get a different driver.

You use a different harbor.

All of those scenarios can disrupt the supply chain but none should break it.

You sound as if your idol does not have "Duck" as his last name.

Like "We are in control! We can offer a billion dollars for a vaccine that will save OUR people - to hell with the rest of the world! We are so powerful that we can demand whatever we like! I am so powerful that I cand demand anything! Even if all countries have closed their borders, we can buy from a different country. Even if all lorry drivers are dead or on hospital, we can buy lorry drivers. Even if all harbours are closed, I have the power to use them!

Yeah, right. You have a natural talent for handling it. Except when you don't.

I agree with you in "should"

Sadly, seeing how things are getting managed sometimes (not specially right now) it would not surprise me that much if it did.

I remember hurricane Katrina and how it did break the supply chain because trucks could not get to where they needed to go. This situation is different and is caused by people not using logic or reason.

But the results can be the same. It doesn't matter if the truck don't move because the road is blocked by a tree or by a policeman.
