Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I've been wondering about this too. I wonder if this 'lesson' will wake companies up. No "Single Points of Failure" is a mantra for IT disaster recovery and continuous operation plans -- yet so many companies now seem to have single points of failure in their supply chain sourcing.
Or, after the dust is settled will people go back to their old pre-outbreak thinking?
Is there opportunity domestically for in-sourcing? Dunno, but trying to figure it out.
<edit> When writing this below I was mentally thinking only of drug companies:
Companies don't care.
As the shortages become apparent, they will simply raise the price to maintain the same income level.
After it's over, things will go back to normal.
If it never ends, then once there is no more supply, the company will lay off all the staff, give the CEO a bonus, and shutter buildings as needed.
