NITL webinar: Transporting the covid-19 Vaccine
The National Industrial Transportation League Presents
Transporting the COVID-19 Vaccine: Supply Chain Impact and Obstacles
November 19
11am - Noon EST
The COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution will be the World's Greatest Logistical Feat- Learn about the Bottlenecks, Obstacles and Challenges from the Front Lines.
Regardless of your company's involvement, your supply chain may be impacted. Don't miss this important session.
The pandemic transformed global supply chains, tested their limits and has proven most to be highly resilient. Operation Warp Speed—the name given to the shipping of COVID-19 vaccine, in a cold/cool environment in the US, (and everywhere on earth), is an undertaking like no other before. Whether involved or not, this project will likely have several unintended consequences for shippers and service providers in our interconnected world. Join this panel as they explore challenges from the perspectives of a global package delivery provider, a healthcare freight forwarder, a temperature-controlled packaging supplier, and a healthcare and food trucking service provider. They'll discuss the vaccine launch, and how it might lead to potential complexity in related and unrelated areas of the supply chain.

Mary Tussing, United Airlines Cargo

TRANSPORT FUTURES ISSUES UPDATED STATS ON COVID-19
Transport Futures releases latest COVID-19 update:
"Many, many more deaths on the way. Prediction models, which fluctuate, currently suggest the US could see 180,000 more deaths by the end of 2020 -- 380,000 deaths total. If fatalities approach that level, they'll far eclipse even Civil War battle deaths."
CNN 9/23/20
“To reach 380,000 deaths from the 205,000 we have now, the daily death rate would have to more than double from the current falling rate to return to levels not seen since Mid May. Sadly such quotes are typical of the hysterical attention-grabbing statements we are getting from the media. There is not one piece of data from the current contagion that supports such a prediction. Note the key words 'prediction models'. Such language implies a model based on data. Obviously these models are not.”
“How is a citizen to understand what is going when fed such nonsense from leaders and experts from both sides of the issues?”

cisa guidance on the essential critical infrastructure workforce
The Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers Guidance Version 4.0 provides guidance on how jurisdictions and critical infrastructure owners can use the list to assist in prioritizing the ability of essential workers to work safely while supporting ongoing infrastructure operations across the nation.
CISA issued the guidance originally on March 19, 2020, and published three additional updates to reflect the changing landscape of the nation’s COVID-19 response. While earlier versions were primarily intended to help officials and organizations identify essential work functions in order to allow them access to their workplaces during times of community restrictions, Version 4.0 identifies those essential workers that require specialized risk management strategies to ensure that they can work safely. It can also be used to begin planning and preparing for the allocation of scare resources used to protect essential workers against COVID-19.

Companies are reporting that they have implemented protocols to ensure compliance with CDC recommendations.
- PPE and cleaning supplies continue to be a challenge to source. ALAN has requested input from call participants to share sources where they have been successful securing these items.

AMERICAN LOGISTICS AID NETWORK COaVID-19 UPDATE
American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) COVID-19 Update:
ALAN is continuing to host weekly COVID-19 update calls with other industry trade associations. Highlights from the most recently released call notes include:
•Paycheck Protection Program: To date several participants report that they are aware of companies successfully securing funds through this program. Information also was shared that suggests that the earlier a company “got in line” the greater the likelihood that they have been approved and/or received funds.
•Workforce Issues: There have been numerous reports of companies (Kraft, ConAgra, Smithfield, Tyson, etc.) having to close their production facilities due to high levels of COVID-19 cases among the plant’s workforce. Several participants report that companies are demonstrating a variety of facility policies and protocols including requiring anyone entering the premises to submit to having their temperature checked and/or to wear a face mask while on site. Many facilities are making hand sanitizer readily available for use at entry points. There were numerous comments that companies have implemented the CDC guidelines as a minimum course of action. Several comments were made about litigious organizations approaching drivers at rest stops trying to solicit business to purse action against shippers, receivers and transportation companies. The ATA/TIA government affairs groups, as well as Food Industry organizations, are looking at legislation that could be introduced to limit liability. CDC and OSHA guidance is likely to change as more is learned and up to date information is available at the CDC COVID-19 website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html and OSHA Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19 website https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3990.pdf
•Policy Restrictions: ALAN has made a map of county level policy restrictions available on their web site: http://alanaid.org/map
Additional information is available at ALAN’s COVID-19 website: https://www.alanaid.org/2020/04/20/just-the-facts-maam-alans-no-frills-covid-19-operations-report/. You can also sign up for regular updates from ALAN.
