How to Ship a Vaccine at –80°C, and Other Obstacles in the Covid Fight
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/b...logistics.html
.....The major U.S. logistics companies, including UPS and FedEx, already have networks of freezers that they use to ship perishable food and medical supplies. The companies have experience shipping vaccines for other illnesses, including the seasonal flu.
But the Covid-19 vaccination effort is likely to dwarf all previous campaigns.
UPS said it was constructing a so-called freezer farm in Louisville, Ky., the company’s largest hub, where it can store millions of doses at subzero temperatures.
Creating an entire warehouse that could maintain that deep freeze would have been too complex and costly. So instead, rows of upright industrial Stirling Ultracold freezers, each capable of holding 48,000 vials, are being arranged inside a warehouse. There are 70 freezers so far, but the warehouse could fit a few hundred. A similar UPS center is in the works in the Netherlands.
“I haven’t seen anything like this before,” said Wes Wheeler, UPS’s head of health care. “Nothing has been quite this global in scale. |
So, it's already being done. No need for Biden at all. No need for the govt period other than to pay the bill. Always look to capitalism and business when you want things done. It's amazing what the profit motive can do to speed up the process. I trust that the head of UPS logistics has this well under control.
Also I did the math. 48,000 per container with 350 containers is close to 17M vials at a time. That's plenty. You don't need storage for 100M doses as you have constant in and out flow.
