Sounds like someone trying to test run a sabotage mission. Quoting: UTownReturns The vax requires up to -100 which only very specialized and costly coolers can do so that is a no on that. That is true. Been in the refrigeration business for over 40 years. Refrigeration units that get down to the -75 to -100 degrees are very specialized. Normal freezers used in large storage usually can only go down to -20 max. This story has nothing to do about the vaccine. |

All sites systems are down and they've shut their gates so trucks can no longer enter to pickup product. I know this because I'm the supply chain director for a food company that sells refrigerated dairy products. We use this company as a third party logistics supplier and I'm completely unable to ship Thangsgiving orders from any of their sites across the country. I've got a rough day ahead of me workwise to figure out to mitigate any of this. Quoting: SleepysDad Be vigilant. Finally. I can answer questions because I work at the place he is talking about and I can confirm all systems went down yesterday at 1600. I haven't talked to anyone today yet. All systems went down means a Hack took them down... Could this be the initial Cyber Attacks that will take down the Infrastructure of the USA... Keep Frosty... No, all systems down simply means all systems are down. Could be DNS, could be a bad software patch, could be a simple network outage upstream. Yes, it could also be a hack. But that determination cannot be made based solely on what little information has been provided here. if they are all down throughout the entire country it cannot be intentional. my guess is a hack occurred and they turned everything off to prevent long-term damage. but we'll see i guess |

Less than a month after one acquisition, the cold storage behemoth is taking over yet another player, Hall’s Warehouse Corp, to expand its footprint. The $480m acquisition brings a further 58 million cubic feet of warehouse space to its portfolio. Hall’s operates eight facilities in New Jersey, all within 30 miles of the port of Newark, comprising 200,000 pallet positions and serving 220 customers. According to Americold, the occupancy rate is 95%. Americold president & CEO Fred Boehler said the deal “complements our growing scale in a key market located with one day’s drive of approximately 30% of the population in the US”.” [link to theloadstar.com (secure)] |

Quoting: TheElephantInTheRoomisBack But maybe? Moderna said theirs can be held in storage for 30 days stable. They built a brand new frozen storage facility in the region Had a contract to store ice cream Ice cream stores at -30 F All filled up and going great UNTIL Chinese Computer chips designed to go down to -20F Computers froze They had to abandon that facility - BUILT for FROZEN ICE CREAM CONTRACTS Standing empty ... empty parking lot - laid off employees How on earth are they gonna store VACCINES at -80F required or alternatively -30F the other companies They can’t even keep ICE CREAM COLD enough Anyone taking the jab Walk in with an ice cream cone If it melts while you are waiting The vaccine isn’t any good either And do they warm it sonit doesn’t freeze your veins and muscles ?

Just talked with a friend who delivers to different companies to let him know about whats happening. Where he works is not a subsidiary or remotely cold storage. He said their servers are down and they can't process the tickets. They now are having to write them out. He told me it started a couple of hours ago. |
