Re: Coronavirus

Yeah, sipping the vaccines will be a big pain if it needs an ultra cold chain at -70°C. Normally, you would ship with dry ice to keep the temperatures down but that only lasts so long (the goods my company ship on dry ice, we give 48 hours maximum)

Without invoking the 'B' word, any friction at borders will be a big deal as the clock will be ticking if the trucks are moving or not. You can ship by air but dry ice is classified as dangerous goods due to CO2 being an asphyxiant so IATA limits loads to 200kg per shipment so trucks are without doubt the most effective way to go.

On the subject, if you want to invest some money, might I suggest CO2 suppliers (BOC, Air Products, Air Liquide) They're going to be making some serious money I think
