I live in western Washington, where the stores have been more or less out of toilet paper for weeks, and as far as I can tell, this thing is months from being over in the US. The supply chains haven't broken entirely yet, which is excellent and impressive, but in my personal opinion, the jury is still out on whether they're robust.

- ksdale 7y agoThis just doesn't feel like robustness to me, I guess. It feels precarious, and as far as I know, we haven't yet had time to feel the ripples from electronics supply chain disruptions in China, or the pharmaceutical supply chain disruption due to India understandably limiting exports. I don't want to sound like all sour grapes, I've been hugely impressed with certain industries shifting production to make PPE on such short notice. If this was all going to be over in two weeks, I'd say supply chains passed with flying colors, but it seems like this is just the beginning.
