In South Africa we've seen _some_ disruption too, but the immediate effects have been limited from a consumer perspective. What I find most impressive is how resilient the overall system is in spite of the many disruptions. I recently read a book (by Mark O'Connell) about how some groups predicted ever-imminent apocalypse and social collapse. The book was released shortly before the pandemic and tellingly one of the themes presented (not as the author's view, but as a view in some prepper communities) was that a global pandemic would lead a total collapse of the supply chain and then we would become feral and play out Mad Max etc. While global supply chain issues have led to some shortages (some more serious than others and some more protracted than others) there is so much that is still working. That's something to celebrate IMHO.
