seventeen days out and the quotes get honest
A fortnight of suppliers revising their own quotes upward before the shutdown, which the channel greeted with approval rather than complaint. An honest twenty-eight days is more useful than an optimistic fourteen, and several members said so plainly. Underneath it, the practical business of making a supply last through a gap got worked through more carefully than in previous years.

What happened
- Quoted lead times moved up by roughly two weeks across the channel, and the suppliers who revised early were named approvingly.
- Holding a dose was discussed as a planned decision rather than an emergency measure, with people describing holds of two months or more.
- Stretching a dosing interval and reducing a dose were separated properly, since they do different things to a seven-day half-life.
- Shanghai ERP came up for a support reply that was slow and correct, and the channel debated which half matters more.
- A member planning to reconstitute at a higher concentration to save volume was warned about the measurement error that follows.
