I work for a large European chemical company's sourcing with my region being Europe and Africa. It's these moments when you truly feel like citizen of earth talking with people in Morocco to UK and Germany dealing with the same things. All the usual bs business talk is long gone and people open up on their personal troubles as well as tell openly of their companies situation as it it.

Especially past two days outside of the human suffering you are really starting to see the scale of it with some plants and logistic chains starting to break. Especially important when it comes to things like chemicals needed example in water treatment plants.
