I think the article somewhat underplays the role of people getting sick. Just last week, a major port in Shenzhen shut down due to a COVID outbreak. [1] I remember the same thing happening last year in American meat plants, car factories, and ports. Relying too much on just in time manufacturing has its own problems, but I think it's just plain hard as a single company to mitigate global catastrophic risk like COVID inflicted on the world. Relying on multiple suppliers might not help if every supplier is affected.
