Tim Cook is was hailed as a supply chain guru. But even he likely didn’t weigh pandemics high up on the concern list enough to have supply chain redundancy. For what appears to be a 1/100 year event I’m not sure it would make sense for most companies anyway.
Well, that's the sort of mindset people had after 9/11 or the financial crisis. Pretty much a decade (at least) of anticipating the next similar thing to happen. Did you think after Chelyabinsk that we should concentrate everything on meteor prevention? What about the rise of white supremacy in the US after the 2016 election? Hindsight tends to be myopic, kind of the opposite of 20/20. But then again, it is 2020, isn't it?
