On one hand you're right to be concerned:

* The largest chilled supply chains, for things like frozen food, don't get anywhere near -80°C

* The question of what to do in poor countries is very much unsolved

On the other hand:

* Developed countries have at least some cryogenic supply chain in place, for things like fertility medicine.

* You can get a surprisingly long way with couriers transporting insulated boxes full of dry ice (or liquid nitrogen).

* The prize on offer here is absolutely huge, because lockdown is so expensive. $10 billion a day buys a heck of a lot of couriers.
