freenode_MephMaySlash: Not really..? If i walked down to my local super market if to get say, pasta, rice, or toilet paper if i run out today, i wouldn't be able to. At all. Even if i travelled cross state. It's really that bad. Media is making covid way more dangerous then it actually is.01:44
freenode_MephMayAlready is man. I've literally seen people selling singular rolls of toilet paper for $5-10AUD.01:44
freenode_MephMayMefistofeles: Hey! We sorta have the same name. Neat.01:44
freenode_MephMaySlash, you say that, but Australia is a shit show at the moment, no one can buy toilet paper because mass hysteria, so people are buying all the toilet paper they can, and people who just want to get one or two packs can't even do that.01:44

freenode_mefistosure, but the assumption ofexponential growth for ever, up to may or whatever, is not a good assumption01:44

Bridgestorm<finely>20:21
Bridgestorm<finely> Yes, but the first step is vaccine waivers. The new, smaller mRNA manufacturing plants can be run with single use inputs. The supply chain problems have to solved one way or another.20:21
Bridgestorm<de-facto (@freenode_de-facto:matrix.org)> waivers or licenses i dont think its the current bottleneck, the manufacturing technology itself though as well as the raw materials very well could be afaik20:23
Bridgestorm<de-facto (@freenode_de-facto:matrix.org)> also there is the issue of quality assurance20:24
Bridgestorm<de-facto (@freenode_de-facto:matrix.org)> and that is extremely important, especially with such a large campaign20:24
Bridgestorm<de-facto (@freenode_de-facto:matrix.org)> yet whatever is necessary to ramp up production rates has to be done, probably identifying current bottlenecks would be a good start20:25
