Hey Everyone,

I was reading a story about how some shipments of medical materials are being stopped at the border and one shipment took too long and spoiled.

I was thinking of ways that we can help combat this and I have a few ideas that I think might be prudent measures. Firstly, perhaps we can assign specific teams to prioritize inspection of medical supplies or even allow for a dedicated section for the crossing if on land.

Additionally, I think we should setup a secondary shipping network in an effort to ease the problems we are facing moving forward into the future. Perhaps we can setup dedicated airports to handle medical supplies and testing equipment and keep it separate from food and PPE shipments to allow us more action in relation to shipments.

This would free up congestion at the airports and expedite all shipments worldwide. These airports can be located close to the centres of Pandemic Vaccine research to allow for more expedient delivery. We also want to ensure they are carefully inspected to ensure no foreign or dangerous contaminants.

This I feel would be a great option to help manage the overflow we are finding at our shipping centres.

Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive,

John Ames Birch
