The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions and changes to the nation’s supply chain. Some examples of these changes include people stocking up on certain items at the grocery store, and people being forced to look for new sources of products that are made in China.

The Show spoke to Ruddell about what stands out to him about the country's supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic.
