COVID-19: Radio Interview on the Importance of Logistics

Today it is a logistics battle that is being fought on all fronts.

Are you dealing with "adult teenagers" who think they are invincible? Having trouble keeping them cooped up in the house and "staying at home!"? That is the first part of of this radio interview I did with KIRO FM Radio in Seattle.  

More importantly, I was also able to share information with their listening audience on the importance of the functioning of the logistics system in knowing what the needs are, so FEMA can prioritize the shipment of PPE and ventilators. Then also, the need for states and local jurisdictions to speed up the breakdown and distribution of that equipment to the end users who desperately need it.  

Logistics: If it was easy, it would be called taxes!
