　　IF A VENGEFUL deity were to design a weapon to wield against the global supply chainsthat characterise modern business, it might well hit on a virus which hit production facilities all around the world. In the face ofcovid-19, though, the sinews of business have, for the most part, held up remarkably well. Air freight has suffered, but shipping has steamed on—and its comparatively long transittimes have provided abuffer to the supply shocks which followed China’s shutdown. Prologis, an Americancompany which operates one-and-a-half Manhattans-worth of warehouse spacearound the world, says that 95% of its customers have remained at least partially operational.Systemic risks such as those which brought thebanking industry crashing down during the financial crisis have, as yet, failed to materialise.

　　如果复仇之神要设计一种武器来打击现代商业的标志——全球供应链，很可能会想到用病毒来袭击世界各地的生产设施。然而面对新冠疫情，商业的筋腱却在很大程度上扛住了压力，维系得非常不错。航空货运受到了冲击，但海运照常运行——它相对较长的运输时间为中国封城后的供应中断提供了缓冲。美国公司安博(Prologis)在全球运营的仓库面积相当于1.5个曼哈顿，它表示自己95%的客户至少仍保持了部分运作。金融危机时期令银行业崩溃的那种系统性风险目前尚未变成现实。
