During the beginning of all this everyone was freaking out about how we were going to be able to ship and store this magical elixir at -70F. They were adamant about it. People were worried about refrigeration shortages.
I'm sure it cost a significant lot more to ship something then store it at -70F.
What happened that we went from this getting shipped in temperature controlled shipping containers, to sitting on a truck in a cardboard box next to my Amazon order...
For context, most biologics are required to be shipped cryogenically (like -150C or less) and stored (for a period of time) at like -80C. They were only to be thawed within an hour or so prior to use.
