Another form of logistics, that we have not always studied as logistics, is the healthcare system. I think many of us are learning an appreciation that it depends on an orderly flow of relatively unremarkable supplies. Much of it is, unfortunately, also a small pocket of air.

Air *itself* is a logistical challenge, in the present moment. We assume infinite amounts are free most of the time and that the exceptions have already been mathed out by some expert deep in the figurative bowels of an architectural firm. And now the HVAC details really matter.

That's it with the sobering thoughts. The somewhat good news is that we're better equipped to quickly pivot infrastructure than we've ever been, thanks to changes in how it is constructed which happened mostly very recently in human terms.
