Yeah we are feeling the squeeze, luckily we were ordering like mad and still are and looking in unique places to get supply but we are starting to run lower and lower.
In terms of the OP, the lecture on the GLOBAL PANDEMIC is quite important as people just don't seem to understand what that is. We think magically the production just goes into full throttle because we are out of stuff and unfortunately that isn't the case. I know people are sick and tired of the pandemic, I certainly am but until we figure out the new normal we are going to see slow production. Especially until the U.S. gets their fecal matter in order and gets the pandemic under control and allows people who know what they are doing because they are knowledgeable medical professionals run the show and get everything in line a lot of countries don't want anything to do with the U.S. I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to be shipping goods and supporting a country who thinks the pandemic is a joke.
