#2Whatever your opinion is about the lockdowns, there is one thing everyone should be able to agree on; they destabilize just about everything. I'm worried about people going hungry or not being able to heat their home this winter from the ripple effects.

Manufacturers were anticipating lower demand due to COVID effects, not lockdowns per se.
It is not like life would have continued uninterrupted without lockdowns.

#4Currently working on a new design for a client, it's quite a pain. Lots of things, even mundane things like connectors and such are out of stock / low stock and usually quite a bit more expensive.

Weird to blame the lockdowns when the real cause was the pandemic. It's not like everyone was going to continually working normally in crowded spaces with people dropping like flies in the hospitals. China especially was hit so incredibly badly in that first wave; it was always gonna go pear-shaped no matter what.

The energy situation in Europe and Asia is already ugly. The Indians only have about 4 days of coal at their powerplants, China has already had blackouts, and in Europe the price of natural gas is the equivalent of oil at $200 a barrel.

Every economic forecast I read in April 2020 assumed things would be open by q3/q4 last year.

I was looking to buy parallel EEPROMs (DIP) a couple days ago and found they were pretty expensive and mostly unavailable. I was wondering if that's because this type of IC is rather niche these days, or whether it's due to what's called the "chip shortage".
If anyone knows or has an educated opinion, please let me know...

It's true - China's numbers, unsurprisingly, really don't give light to how badly they were impacted. I remember reading about how they were building brand new hospitals to cope. Literally building a brand new hospital.

Looking back on that, it's interesting to think about how that should have been a major warning sign of things to come for the rest of the world.
